Yah almost a 360.... You can see how the road connects. Trail is above Greenwater Washington, the panorama starts looking Southwest, the Ridge we're on is Huckleberry Mountain Ridge, and mountains are all within the Cascade Range, most notably and obvious Mt. Rainier, at 14,409 feet. We're about 4 to 5 thousand feet up in the pic.dothedew772 said:

OK, I've been debating this for a while, but after this picture I've decided that I HAVE ridden with you a couple years ago on Galbraith with David and Judd.Skookum said:One more shuttle ride today. i'm burnt man.
i was telling Oly that i respect alot of monkeys more than me, in your dedication to cycling. It's a little bit easier in a sense for me with mountains around. At least the views and downhill anyways.loco said:Texas sucks.
Climbing em is definately an acquired taste however. Even within all three shuttle rides i had a fair amount of climbing 2500 feet or so, but i must confess i descended well over 9000 feet of DH.i regret not being able to show you the "real" goods during your visit years back. Winter time riding is tough, maybe someday.MikeD said:
Dude it was too much. Alot of cool singletrack climbing and killer views. But i screwed up alot of camera shots i'm pretty pissed about that. When we finally got to the 8 mile stretch of trail called Bishops Ridge it was the true definition of gnar core. A typical ridge ride of up and down for about 3 miles, then it drops and you get 4 miles of rutted rock garden descent, until finally the final mile calms down a bit. Seriously the longest extended toughest rock section i have ever ridden in my life. See my picture? Now imagine 4 more miles of that. i don't know if i'll ride that trail again ever, it's tooooo much! haha. But views of Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier with some other promising trails and possible loops, i'm pretty excited about exploring the area. But alot of moto-bikes, so unfortunately alot of ruts, and alot of stirred up rocks.oly said:
Not really, same ole frame but very red! haha. It does feel a little lighter but i also got a new wheelset and i'm running whimpy 2.0 Kenda Karma's. i know the frame is a little lighter, but i'm running sun singletracks and i'm inclined to think i'm feeling it there moreso than the frame. i'm actually sketching out alot because of the tires, but it's making riding kinda fun and exciting since i'm crashing/washing/sketching out alot more with them haha.splat said:
No that was my evil stunt double. Make sure if you see him again to tell him he owes me money still.kinghami3 said:

the fact that you deal with that traffic on a daily basis and haven't shot anyone yet makes you a saint!MikeD said:
