It was brutally hot on Sunday morning. Already temps were in the 80's and the sun was beating down on the exposed trail. I don't know if this climb is worse than Belcher at White Ranch, but it sure seems like it.
Only 2.5 miles to the top but it is one of the steeper trails in the area and I was already starting to feel the lack of sleep take its toll. I had to stop a couple of times to ease the dizziness.
Finally, things level out a bit, but it's still uphill.
Once I get across the first saddle, there are a few trees for releif. It was also a time to celebrate making all but one switchback on the way up.
After reaching windy saddle, I decided enough was enough.

So, I watched the roadies flying down lookout mountain road dor a while, turned the bike around, and bombed down as fast as I could on the OTB Titus without the gloves that I left in my car (ouch). I have decided that the Racer-X and I will be parting ways this summer. I am just too far up front and it scares the crap out of me.
