Had to knock this out before it closes this month for who knows how long. Lots of widowmakers on the descent, including a kamikaze squirrel that was centimeters from ending both of us at 25 mph. I stopped to let air out of my tires and started bunny hopping all the divots which felt like a video game. Once they repair the road though this will be unbelievable. More than a leisure pace but as casual as I could convince myself to go with the possibility of weather. Classic
