Old 40 again

Rode up old Highway to the top of Donner Pass again. Great workout! I didn't time myself but my goal is to be under 30 minutes by the end of summer. This time I was passed by some guy on a mountain bike. Shame on me! It's a 3 mile climb with 1100 foot elevation gain. Beautiful ride again today, no traffic, about 60 degrees, with a few thunder clouds. It's a fast ride down. For some reason I find myself riding the downhill a little more cautiously these days.

Self portrait at the top of the grade. Way too close but my arms are only so long.
