Did I mention it was hot? The last two miles of this trail are back uphill in exposed sun and 93F!



You puss. Road with John yesterday on T-100. We didn't start until 9 a.m and finished at 12:30 p.m. 27 miles total with a 45 minute stop at the fricking freezing coffee shop (we didn't want to leave)

Bike computer in direct sun while riding read 115. When we stopped in the shade of a big pine tree the temp dropped to 104.

Very few people on the trail :-)

I'm headed up to Ridgway next Friday or Saturday so if you're interested in trying to do Monarch again....forget it....it'll rain......
