I rode up and over Lassen. 8,500 feet. It was a huge climb but a great break form the busy highway. The scenery was great and the cool mountain air was so refreshing after the heat of the valley. I spent two days in the park. Then I had to return to a shoulder-less narrow highway with ton of commercial truck traffic and extreme heat. Very hard and scary. I was not enjoying it. But Marc to the rescue! He came and met me on Friday night and we are now sitting on a balcony looking out over Lake Tahoe. A weekend off the bike with my honey. So sweet! Today we'll chill on the lake and swim. Next I'll be riding over another 8,500 pass, Carson Pass. Then the final descent to Placerville to visit my good friend, then to Sacremento to visit some more friends, and then out to S.F. for another visit with friends. Then the final ride home to Santa Cruz. I can't believe it's almost over.
