NealH was in town today for the metric ride Sat. so we headed up to the BRP in warm sunny conditions. We started our ride at 4600' for an 8.7 mile climb up to 6050' in the mid 60s but that began to change as we climbed higher. A front was moving in and the wind really picked up while clouds began to obscure the sun. We made it to the top in 49 min and promptly put on arm warmers and a vest for the descent back to the car. I had been in my summer kit!
Neal riding up the mostly empty BRP. The leaves at the higher elevations are gone!
I'm riding half naked at 6000' in late Oct. Awesome!
I layered up for the ride back down though. The wind was making a sail out of my vest.
Fall colors at an overlook. One side was socked in with clouds and the other was sunny.
These clouds would begin to rain on us on the way down the hill.
We mostly beat the weather today for a quick afternoon climb on the BRP. Fun!
