woohoo, #2. Two laps around Donner Lake first, since if I tried to put those off until the end I'd definitely not do it. Then up over Brockway and down around the lake. Truck traffic was pretty bad until Spooner, they've got 50 closed for repairs and all the long hopper trucks full of gravel/dirt/tacos for the construction are coming around the lake. Passed some old guy that got whiffed, went over and got cut up pretty bad.
It was maybe 10 degrees colder today than last time, maybe 50 degrees in the sun, but I kept riding across the bottom of valleys coming down from the peaks that had super chilly breezes. Had the fleece tights on, and it wasn't quite warm enough to keep the shell jacket off the whole time, I was constantly stopping to put it on for the downhills and take it off for the uphills. Good on the water this time, I found a freeze-proof faucet on a beach in South Lake so I refilled and downed a bottle there, though I still lost 13lbs, and thats after drinking 5 big bottles. Stupid five percent humidity. Definitely need more calories though, I started bonking around Emerald Bay, stopped and ate almost everything I had left, which helped but I was still dragging for the rest of the ride.
