7/2/23 UPDATE: it was upwards of 90 degrees today, and it was by far the best ride I've ever...

I was last there pre 2003 but I want to say to Stephenie Hutchings to try BC powder. It's powdered aspirin and caffiene and I was feeling off with chest pains and I took that and I felt great fast Only used it that one time because pain killers don't work for me but that stuff...
