Today was complicated. I went back out at noon and Left from Sperryville only to get 4 miles out and realize that I didn't have my Skyline Pass. So i turned around and went back to the truck. I decided to drive to Front Royal and do an Out and BACK on skyline. I got there and it was sunny and hot. When i handed the ranger my pass she told me that i didn't need it - this weekend was free to everyone. The first 20 miles were good almost all in my easiest gear, spinning @ about 9 MPH. After 10 miles it got and stayed cloudy/foggy, which is good because it was much cooler. The last 10 miles going out, were a bit harder but not nearly as hard as the way back. The climb out of 211 was really hard. The water in the air was so thick that it gave the hair on my arms a frosting of dew. Ended up doing 64 miles on The Drive with a total of 70 miles.
