Figueroa Maintain Photo Album
7 AM, Los Olivos was not early enough
After 7 miles to start of climb it was already turning hot
MOVIE: Ignoring my good advice
Finaly a simi-flat spot
Nothing flat of Figueroa last long
As the sun rose higher, water became a problem.
MOVIE: Nothing is easy
MOVIE: Looking for wide
I did not realize heat exhaustion was beginning and causing weakiness. I thought it was just my old age...
Movie: I see a lot of nothing
Heat exhaustion /weakness was causing more rest stops than normal
Almost to park boundary
Only 1 more mile to the Ranger Station where I hid some water yesterday
MOVIE: Desperate for next water supply
Finally the Ranger Station ( currently unmanned)
My 36 oz of water is still here. A life savor. I did not fully realize how much I needed water
After a long rest break and lots of water, only 1 mile to the 1st top and my second water supply
I was one very happy camper. My water was there. I was giver even more water by some great folks from LA. I was begining to feel a lot better
..and strangers gave me water, things are looking up
Only 3.5 miles to the real top, and I stop at lunch log
MOVIE: A snack at Lunch Log
I am thinKing I should be riding this...
Only another mile to the real top
The real top may not look like much; but it is beautiful to see
I dug my water out of its hiding place and now it is all downhill, - mostly
MOVIE: I stopped recording at the 1st really steep grade because i wanted both hands on the handlebars LOL
Stop to let brakes cool
MOVIE: Flowers by the road
Several roads connect at the Saddle
MOVIE: 1/2 way down
Small creek, very small
After water, I was feeling great
MOVIE: Running water
MOVIE: Bike goes one way; I go another way
MOVIE: Now we get a Gravel road
Full loop - almost
From start to top, 4,500 feet!
