The six-mile ride down the Cima Road hill to the Cima Store, 800 feet below, is a blast

On the way down, I pass a small group of police and rangers investigating a car wreck whose driver is nowhere to be found. To my surprise, I have a significant headwind pushing against me as I ride down the hill (there was hardly any wind at all earlier).

The views of the Mid Hills straight ahead in the distance make me happy.
