At a certain point it's just you and the rest of the mountain. However on this day I limped up to the pass with Michael and we took photos along the way.
Snow appears.
Keep turning the pedals over!.

Michael looks at the pass. One more big curve and we have arrived at the top.
The pass!
After celebrating at the top, the time comes to start descending. One can't dally too long for the ride back to the car presents a long haul and the daylight won't last forever. Fortunately, we face no more major climbs. The route back equates to roughly a 50-mile descent. Unfortunately, we ran into an extensive repaving operation and riding on fresh blacktop left tar sticking to our tires. For a full accounting of it see Page 1, The email account.

On the descent. Many miles below Lassen.
