Just got back from the Hot Rocks ride, advertised at 62 kilometers. Check back for the full report later with pictures (and perhaps a a report add-on from Scott) but here are the numbers for today (at least from the Babich group):
temperature: Damn Hot!
clouds: nary a one
shade: see clouds
road surface: 75% chipseal
flats: 1 (Scott)
hills: hell yes. almost rolling, but mostly long grinders
rest stops: thank god
traffic: pick up trucks in the opposite lane ripping by at 55mph
police: friendly and professional
new quote: "Mongo is a machine"
best fashion choice: Jackie's beaver socks
miles: 57.46 (sorry Rotarians, your odometer is off)
running time: 3 hours, 37 minutes
average speed: 15.82 miler per hour
bottles: 10
cramps: on the service road at mile 57
worst decision: tie between no sunscreen and not using the camelback
weirdest sight: all the elite racers on the deck 10 miles into the ride
headache: yes
jumped in pool upon return to house: yes
drinking beer as I write this: yes

It just goes to show that in the heat, a bump can seem like Alpe D'Huez
Rob, what no talk of Turtle Heads?
Turtle head banter is for those who show up to the ride!
