But this image of Baldy won't leave me, it was spectacular. Snow capped, looking so domineering over the other peaks. It needs to be conquered and you guys are just the ones to do it!!

BTW he looks almost normal in that picture. that must be early in the season, before he started looking like a concentration camp survivor.

I wish I lived closer. I would so come join you. I think I'm going to ride at 5:00am on Friday up in the canyons around the Rose Bowl. That is only if I can drag my butt out of bed, though. Lately, I've been wanting to sleep in.

When it gets very chilly, I put an electric blanket on my bed, set on max. heat. I plug it into a timer so it will start to heat up around 3am. By the time I get up an hour later I feel toasted and my legs are warm, so I don't feel so bad about going for a ride or in the pool.

I don't know how you early risers do it. I also don't know how you manage to ride solo... I think I've done maybe 3 rides all year that were solo. And none of those were over 25 miles. I'm such a softie.

I ride 2-3x a week solo, usually short rides but I have done 2 solo centuries this year. After a while you get used to the ghost dogs chasing you.

I like riding when it's ultra quiet and peaceful. Personally speaking, the music would ruin that for me. I prefer the squawk of my derailleur which won't shut the @#$$@# up.
