10 cyclists. 39 miles. 3500 ft climbing. Temps in low 30's for most of the day. Sun made an appearance a few times. Conditions were sloppy for most of the day as thawing took place. Our group of five stopped at Trails End for pizza lunch. More Amish buggies than dogs today. We cut off one part of the last climbing loop.
