Brutal climb for me up W Rogers Backbone in heat

 Started on a warm morning about 9:15 from Almalfi and Sunset
Climbed up backbone for the first time - BRUTAL climb for me - but I made it and pushed hard! ( this is a downhill ride, if you ask my) even passed my riding partner a few times while he was sinking in gravel ;-) what a great feeling! ;-)

I never dreamed I would go from bone marrow transplants, boobs being put in a lab jar, shaving my head in the shower crying, being told I was going to die soon more than twice -- terminal cancer  --  broken femur - to a day like today!  Thank you God, friends and family for always supporting me to keep on keepin on! -- Great day!  last week I worked a tough week in a technical arbitration - and today climbing in the SM mountains!  Life cannot be better!
The ride ended up being about 20 miles and 3000 feet of some steep rocky, sandy, loose, overgrown climbs - and then some flying fast downhill -  and HEAT!
