McKenzie Pass Opening 2011
(download)
Mike and I enjoyed a Summer Solstice surprise biking up the McKenzie Pass. We were there to witness the snow clearing of McKenzie Pass (cyclists only for now).
As Mike put it, timing is everything.
But wait there's more! After being warned by the snow plow team to be cautious, Mike and I set out on the remaining sheet of ice to crest the summit. Yes, I knew it was dangerous but I couldn't resist riding on the surface between high snow walls.
In the end, the ice won. I realized it was getting a little too dicey, unclipped from my pedals, set my feet down and fell on my face, hard.
The moral of this story? Timing is important. So too is balance.
