Default Fun Run up the Mt...

Nice sunny day yesterday in the 60s... Salty, damp roads, but we still had run. I just realized that I had better get some new Toyos since they are below the wear bars in the rear... Those salty roads were slippery and the damp sections were too...

I wasn't thinking about passing... on the track it would have been a different story :-) Now, I have passed before when things got out of order :-)
