Well, 5 peeks and 15,000 feet of pure brutal climbing doesn't sound horrible to you?
the weather was very nice though. Kind of cloudy and some patches of hot sun (only a bit).
I am in the Sacramento area and like you, I am on my way out to ride my bike with this lovely 100 degree weather, Now that is definitely "a suitcase of courage!" yikes!!!!! the water bottles get so warm that it is not even funny
