I hated last October's Helvetia Ride so much that I decided to ruin a gorgeous 50-degree day doing it again, only this time we added a climb out of Beck Rd.'s scenic canyon to really ensure that I was a wreck by the time we got home. It was 4,000 feet of climbing in 40 miles, it was brutal and it was awesome. Not bad for February, even if I did get passed by every other biker out there.

| Me and the backside of a barn (I'm the blue one). |
 |
| Loving life on Skyline. |
 |
| Yup, feeling awesome. |
 |
| Dr B says this is a shortcut. |
 |
| He lied. |
 |
| Mmmm, downhill. This ride has some of the fastest, funnest downhill. Until it doesn't. |
 |
| Right before dropping into Helvetia. |
 |
| Everything is pretty on a sunny day. |
 |
| All these roads are dicks if you ask me. |
 |
| What's he laughing at? |
 |
| This was right before I lost my will to live. |
 |
| I saw Saddle Mountain and Jefferson on this ride, neither of which is pictured here. |

This is me summoning the strength to go on by imagining myself flying away on a sparkly pony. | ||
| Plainview grocery store... tell me about this thing you call... Red Bull? |
 |
| So it's not RAMROD... but it's February! |
