When I left home, the sky had the same dark gray color as concrete. I brought arm and leg warmers, a sweater, gloves, and a scarf ... stuff like that. Along the way I the road turned into a mountain valley, and the clouds just stopped. It was as much as 15 degrees warmer in the sun. I wasn't quite as prepared as I could have been, and forgot to bring my purifier.
Most of the way toward the top, my bottles got pretty low. There were three people at the summit loading mountain bikes into a truck. I rode up to them - the only people around, and friends, since they had bikes - and they gave me the sweet water of life. Ironically, about 100 miles from home, I recognized the logo of a local bike shop on the guy's bottle. Anyway, I didn't see another bike on the road the entire time, but these three were having fun on the trails.
