I was there in 1984. Is that still called Paradise Inn? Thats where I rode my bike too. It was August and only 10 minute hike to the snow line. I got to a sign that said WARNING, hike to Muir is hard and long, many have died on the slopes ahead, so I turned around and went back.

One of my favorite places ever!

It was in the mid-sixties @ 5400 ft. but the UV's are more intense up there so it felt warmer.
And yeah Thor, it's still Paradise. There's a sweet new visitors center too. I've been to Muir a dozen times and YES people have died going there or trying to get back....the sign is fer real! By the way....I topped out in 1993! It was EPIC!

what headset are you using?

I found a high end Sony headphone and modified it to fit inside the ear cutouts of the helmet. The inline volume controller makes it easier to adjust it rather than the I-pod controls. I get good sound for the tunes but I can still hear all the road and engine noise (if you can call the sound of that engine "noise").

The only downside is I have not made a quick-disconnect for the wires yet so they hang from the helmet when I'm off the bike.
