I leave Pacheco Camp around 12h30 and within 30 minutes I'm on the ridge above riding through a semi-shady stand of burned pines

Upon leaving Pacheco Camp, the thermometer reads 92 degrees in the shade.

At first, I'm fooled into believing that I have most of my energy back. After a few minutes of climbing up out of Pacheco Creek, I realize I'm still a bit pooped, so I've been walking up some of the hill up Coit Road.

This part of Coit Road rises about 700 feet over two miles.
