Yikes - Like a Sauna at Case Mtn

I was eagerly up and at Case Mountain at 8 am today and although the heat wasn't too bad, the humidity was awful! :-(

Its always gorgeous on the green trails south of the reservoir...

After a long and precarious ride on the old Coop Road trail (one section was a long wild downhill ride on loose stone!)...

... at the old bridge, I headed back south on JoyRide 2019. Its a wonderful trail but a constant climb of over 285 ft in brutal humidity - it was tough for an old geezer like me. I did have to stop a few times for a breather...

The final section was the reward - mostly downhill and once on the access road - it was more open and as I speed back - the breeze was oh so refreshing!
