    I meet up with Ryandood a little after ten at the wahoos parking lot. Temps were cool and it seemed as though many cyclists had the same idea today. We took the portola to the main entrance Borrego. I hadn't been to Whiting in almost a year so I managed to get us lost a few times all in good fun though. After mustard we grabbed some water and tired to figure the correct way... I figured wrong we went past cactus the first time and ended up and the end of sleepy Hollow. Realizing my mistake we ventured back up to the top of mustard then down cactus, then after a few more wrong turns we were back at the cars. I offered to take ryan on another loop we hung out under the bridge for a few and he decided to bail. I went for a second loop and to do some extra credit Cattle pond loop and then up to Marks bench.

    Up at marks bench I ran into another SSer so I decided to join him on his descent back to wahoos he showed me some more fun trails. Don't remember his name but he is a STR lurker on a Kona Unit with Manitou tower pro! I was still feeling good so decided to go again when I got to the top of mustard some guy came flying over the hill and I figured Id ask him if he knew how to get the the luge, he pointed me in the right direction and I was off. Temps got up to 99.8 according to my garmin when I stopped to take this pick

    Uhhhh, 1 - that's a lot of riding, did you say three times up Mustard and then up to the Luge? and 2 - your temperature gauge on your Garmin is waaaay off, unless it was measuring body temp.
