I've been able to ride some of my favorite climbs the last few days. Only problem, Butterfield still has lots of debris on the second half of the climb. So much so, I wasn't able to get to the top. See video below:
On Tuesday I did Little Cottonwood. I rode from my office which totals well over 4000 ft of climbing to the top. It was way too hot for this time of year. Almost 90 degrees at the start. The rivers were really high and fast as the snow melts in the heat. It was probably 20 to 30 degrees cooler at the top but still I ran out of water and they didn't have the fountain setup at Alta yet. I was able to get some at the bottom though before I was too dehydrated. I snapped a couple of photo's at the top.

On another note, I got my front wheel back from Zipp yesterday. I'm still seething at the fact they wouldn't warranty it. I had to pay for them to repair it. I am never going to buy another product from them again. I'll do a full account of the episode later.
