One Day, One Hundred Degrees, Three "HC" Climbs

What does "HC" mean, anyway?

I was actually planning on doing four, but a flat tire halfway up Onion Valley necessitated a trip to the not-so-local bike shop (after a hair-raising flat-tire descent, of course).

This was actually for the best, though, because even though I was drinking as much water as I could stomach, I was still in the desert, in mid-August, and, well, it was hot. I had stopped sweating before starting Onion Valley. It was 100 degrees in the shade... but I don't know where 'the shade' was, I certainly couldn't see any for miles around.




















Tomorrow I ride on 5 mile road here in Detroit. Pretty much the same, all told.
