I have about 10 miles of uphill ahead of me on Morning Star Mine Road
"Caution: this road subject to flash-flood."
The road cuts through creosote-bush scrub at the lower elevations as it slowly begins its climb up the hill. I'm heading south now, and the first thing I notice is that I'm pedaling hard into a strong headwind.
