Could *not* get the picture. The steam coming off the rider's heads. Just doesn't show up.![]() It was such a cool shot, or it should have been, but dang, maybe I waited too long, maybe it was the wrong angle, maybe there's a lot more the eye can see than the camera. The top of Kings, the faster folk cooling down a bit waiting for the rest to come up the hill, and I swear, there was steam coming off the tops of the riders heads in the relatively-cool (about 40 degrees) air on Skyline. If it had come out, it would have been cool-enough to make up for my screwing up and hitting the start-stop button at the base of Kings, stopping my computer entirely, instead of the segment timer. I recognized my mistake a couple minutes later, too late to have any real idea of my speed up the hill. The only thing I could go on was that the two Kevins were ahead of me, JR just a short distance behind, the rest following a minute or so further back. ![]() The ride was most-noteworthy for being a lot more wet than expected; this was one of those rides where the skies are clear but your bike gets trashed from all the water and crud coming up from the road. The sort of day that puzzles people because they don't understand why their bike's a mess when they bring it into the shop, because they say they don't ride in the rain. Overall, just another nice "winter" ride. We should have quite a few more of them, now that I've got my 'cross bike all set up again, ready for rain that will likely never come. |
