Vance shows off his new FNC kit while thinking about Sochin.
I showed up to Sunland Park on time but nobody was there. I decided to do the ride anyway, even though I didn't bring a spare tube. I figured I'd take a chance. It was cold climbing up Big Tujunga and the low clouds ahead only made it worse. After passing Upper Big Tujunga Rd, the clouds were gone and the sun came out. About a few miles from the summit, Jaycee and Vance finally caught up to me and we continued on our ride. The wind and cold followed us most of the day. We stopped for lunch in Acton and chowed on a Turkey sandwich while checking out the locals. Rollers and more rollers for the rest of the ride. Vance got a flat in San Fernando and decided to put the same tube back into the rim. I known, we've all done this before, maybe not. Anyway, a great ride that ended up being 89 miles with 7800 ft elevation gain.
