Wasn't as hot as I was expecting, but it definitely warmed up on the way up Crystal.
Skate Creek Road had some interesting gravel patches, I almost went down in one loose section.. besides that it was a great ride!
385km (240 miles) for the day since I started/ended in the city. Pretty tired today, good thing I took the day off.

Congrats to everyone else who finished, it was still a tough ride even without Paradise.
