5-23-09 Ride

Solo ride while up at Fellowship Camp in Wrightwood. Head out west on the Angeles Crest Highway and climbed from 5900' in Wrightwood to 7550' at the summit, about 7 miles away. Went a little further, then turned around and headed back. Felt pretty good, although the 7 miles of steady climbing was a challenge. I think I was going slightly into the wind, because the ride back up to the summit was much easier. Ride down into Wrightwood was a blast, but it was a chore climbing the 11% grade back up Elm to camp.
Average speed = 13.78 mph. Total mileage = 16.2 mi.
