   This is just the sort of climate discombobterpation we can expect from the death trains.

   With all that heat, how could the cyclists stay hydrated.
   Good thing they cancelled, to many accidents waiting to happen on slippery roads, cold bodies cramping up, not fun…
   We had a bike tour here 2 weeks ago, and it was cold, raining, windy, generally not fun, and I cramped up at 65 km mark…done….

   At over 12,000 ft, Trail Ridge Road is not friendly to cyclists, even when it’s just cold and dry. Miserable when cold and wet. “Warm” or “balmy” are just words to describe 5-10 minutes outside of the car before taking refuge. and conditions can/do change drastically in a matter of minutes up there on the Divide

     When a tree falls on the side of a mountain, it often moves downhill.
