I got out on a cold morning. I wanted to ride some 60 plus miles. The weather was cold at the start 60 degree (17 C). The wind was up about 30 miles an hour. It took me two hours to get to the top of Munz Ranch Road. Since, the wind was up, I decided to ride up in to the hills, thinking it would protect me, WRONG. It was worst. It got so cold and rainy. If it was not for my wind breaker, I would have called it off. I rode for 3:40 hours to get 44 miles (71km). My plans changed, I really wanted to ride to Three-points and back in to town, but rode back down to Highland and home. The weather killed that. If the weather is bad for the AV Fall Century, I am not so in shape to do 100 miles (which I have never done).

What was really cool was watching the Furnace Creek 508 rides going past me in the other direction. They ride 508 miles! Wow… The winner did it in about 27 hours.
