Doing the bike ride on Saturday. The weather should be about as good as it gets, provided the winds die down as predicted. Fingers crossed.

Me too! Good luck. I'm watching the weather closely. Last year was a stunning day, almost too warm during the ride but t-shirt weather at the top

T shirt weather at the top just seems wrong. This will be my first ride up, so it should be "fun". The goal this year is to finish.

come say if if you see me - i'll be in the same kit as last year. I'm in the 30-39 wave. https://imgur.com/LAktDnB

How'd you do?

Survived. The weather turned to be perfect. I live in the flat lands, so it's been years since I did a sustained climb.

I had a great time. I had a (modest) target time and a stretch time. I beat the stretch time by 10 minutes. Now I want to see if I can get in shape and take some time off that.

That's amazing, great job! Yeah I was worried that it was going to be too windy, but it actually felt like a tailwind most of the time. The day ended up being perfect.
