Forest Service Road 211 / Tarryall Reservoir and Mount Evans

Forest Service Road 211 and Mount Evans

I got up to the top of Mount Evans and thought I'd lose my hands. I was wearing ski gloves, but they were wet from when I got caught out in the rain yesterday. At the summit (14,130') my bike showed that it was 45F. Then it started hailing. And raining. Somehow, I made it down without dying. But this is the second day in a row that I've been caught out in a storm of rain and hail. Maybe I should start checking the forecast?

This looks like my ride this morning down Forest Service Road 211:

10:15 am 53454
11:13 am 53494. 40 miles. Trailhead
12:07 53514 summit. 20 miles.
12:19 53519 CR77. 1 hr. 25 miles dirt.
1:00 53554 jefferson
