Hey Gerald - great pictures from a nice ride! That rain was nuts - I'm glad that neither of us fell. Especially you with your 19mm tires.

The second to the last of your pictures was taken in the same spot that I shot a video of my wife riding nearly a year ago. I recognized that pine tree on the left side of the road:

Also, you'll recognize this section of road right after you pass the park at the beginning of the climb:

By the way, did you ever have drinks with the girl who hit your car?

If you're ever in town again and you have time for a ride, feel free to give me a call.
