Mission Aborted To The Saddle With 2 back to back flats, on to Circle Of Doom Route.
I was about 1/4 mile from Hwy 2 when I got to back to back flat tires, thank god I one extra with me. To much debris on the road along with ice, I had to walk my bike through about 300 feet of ice and stop in 3 different areas of the Hwy 39 and walk over rocks and boulders. Lots of snow and about 37 out at the top of Hwy 2, where it was closed toward Dawson's Saddle. As I made my decent down Hwy 2 toward La Canada Flintridge and Pasadena, there 5 or 6 snow plows heading in the opposite directions preparing for the storm. But it was scary a few times coming around some of the corners down the mountain and snow blow halfway into the oncoming direction. Once I got off Hwy 2 I had to get directions via Google to get me back to Encanto Park, which was a nightmare as Google likes to put you on streets with bike lanes, so it was sending me all over the place. I ending up meeting a guy biking that way (Gary), which I ended up following him for about 8 miles to the car. Legs did not really feel this climb after lifting weights day prior, but that is my schedule so it is what is for right now.
