No I wasn't. I had to sit in the ambulance at top for about 20 minutes to get the feeling back in my hands before I descended

once down the mountain I was fine. I stuck cardboard under my jersey to fend off the cold. It was in the upper 30's up there and 70 deg. back down at the bottom... crazy.
I rode most of the way back alone till I caught one guy who was kind enough to pull me all the way back into that head wind. The ride back otherwise is really not so bad it's almost all down hill and at least you keep spinning after that hard finish climb. But yeah I was looking for a ride back if I could have gotten one.
