The ride started a bit below 3,700 and then descended from there. It didn't dip much, but it was enough to force me to work on the way out.

Two young, fit, and very attractive ladies were on my tail for several miles. They passed me about 2/3 of the way to the top, and then turned around a hundred yards later and descended. I'm not sure if that's like passing someone on the MUP and turning immediately?

Speaking of scenery, it was 'an off day' for photography, but I got a couple pics for the "your bike near water" thread.
