We did this ride last year and liked it so much we had to do it this year too.

Our average moving speed last year was 14 mph. But that included all the way to Johnston Ridge, which is another 15 miles out and back, with a hefty climb up to the Johnston Ridge endpoint and then the climb to get back up to Elk Rock on the return. This year we turned around and did not continue past Elk Rock as it was just too foggy and rainy to ride safely. We're glad we did because the descent was quite cold as it was.

We had been looking forward to this ride having done it and enjoyed it last year, so we were disappointed to have the ride cut short. It was still nice to get some climbing in though. I felt pretty good at the turnaround, and wanted to keep going as my legs felt strong. But it really was the safest choice to call it a day. Rain nor especially fog are the cyclist's friend.

Perhaps we can do this another day this summer...
