Epilogue

This ride accomplished three particular/peculiar goals:
1.  Book a perm for August to keep the R-12 streak 
2.  Get some heat training 
3. Knock out an Epic Climb (Mix Canyon)

I'm doing a 600km brevet in a couple of weeks.  If I DNF, at least this will cover August.  I also might need the heat training for that event.

A few years ago, Adam Hunt asked me if I wanted to climb Mix Canyon in the middle of the Winters brevet.  I knew he was joking, but it planted this seed in my head - it's so isolated, it makes sense to do it as part of a larger ride along Pleasants Valley.  Sadly, I bit off more than I could handle today.  It makes no sense to do such a difficult climb in the heat with 120 miles in the legs.  Guess who ended up hiking to the top 😏.

I also had to ride some extra miles today because the Real McCoy ferry was closed.  It wasn't a big loss.  There was no waiting at the J-Mack ferry.

Now, Steven Chan is not the only person to post a time for this perm!  I am in good company.
