I’ve been getting ready for Lotoja and riding the Mirror Lake Highway in the mornings has been a great option. People say it’s one of the most dangerous roads to ride on. Usually a mecca for campers, trucks towing RV’s and trailers if you know when to go it’s a cycling paradise.
I’ve been sticking to weekdays and mornings and the reward has been in my favor.
It’s starting to get cold in the mornings and I’ve been riding with my vest, leg and arm warmers. I don’t recall feeling this much chill in August but then again, the top of the pass is well over 10,000′. 
Once Labor Day passes the roads will be virtually abandoned other than Friday and Saturdays as the deer and elk hunts go full swing. I’m hoping for an Indian Summer through the end of October after which it can snow like crazy!
