Lazy SaturdayI intended to do some night riding early this morning, but I got in from the ball game late and I wimped out. The thought of driving down to Mount Shasta City on little sleep did not encourage me, nor did the thought of doing the Mount Shasta Summit Century on tire legs. Last year I did three of the four climbs, leaving out the final climb up to Mt. Shasta due to heat and bonking. This year, I hope to finish all four climbs. However, the weather could impact this. Weather forecast for Mount Shasta City for Sunday: "Sunday Partly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning...then chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower to mid 80s. Light winds becoming southwest around 10 mph in the afternoon. Chance of thunderstorms 30 percent." On a different note, a few weeks ago, I did a long ride called a DART, a RUSA Dart. Here are some photos taken by teammate Nate. We did 260km (162 miles) circling Mt. Hood.
