It was freezing as we started off, literally. We began to warm up after we started climbing and I think that this was the most interesting pass of all. We started in sage brush and Ponderosa Pines, climbed to lava fields and descended into the lush green forests filled with ferns, moss and Cedar trees! We started in partly cloudy skies, climbed to cold winds and entered snow for about 10 miles. Our descent on the twisty road kept our speed low and we had to stop every few miles to hit our hands to try and thaw them.
I've decided that rain is actually better to bike in than snow because rain falls directly down. Snow floats in the air and does hurt the eyeballs. We had a great day in spite of freezing.
