>> We left crescent city nice and early so we had plenty of time to spend in the redwoods. About 2 miles from town the road headed up. By the time we summited the climb it was down to 8 degrees. After a 6 mile descent poor Lisa was hypothermic. We went into a tourist attraction shop for her to warm up. After an hour she was no better. We rugged her up and put chemical warmers in her shoes and gloves. We then started riding again to see if another 1000 ft climb would warm her up. Thank goodness it seemed to work. We decided to not stop again until we made camp. After a final 7 mile descent to the campground she was starting to get in trouble again. We quickly wrapped her in a sleeping bag, made a cup of tea and some 2 min noodles. She started to come good again. Then it started to rain. We got the tent up quickly and got everything undercover. Lisa went for a shower and came back chipper.
