More Skyline

Today I rode from 211 to just past Lewis Mountain Campground on Skyline Drive, and back. It was 53 miles or so with about 5000 feet of climbing. It started out trying to rain, but I out ran it. Then it rained ahead of me but passed before I arrived, only to find the roads wet. At one point I rode through the clouds, illuminated by the sun, it was like heaven on earth, only the road was pavement, not gold. The clouds and rain cleared out leaving cooler air and sun. It was a good time. I was supposed to do 70 miles but oh well.
