I will make a point to do some climbing camps out there.

Nice view at the top, but no better than the top of Coulee. Definitely not recommended, you didn't miss much (esp. since the route covers 100mi without that 'bonus'). Agreed, CC is better than RAMROD since the first (also my fave) and third loops were far more enjoyable than the slogs from/to Enumclaw. --Jeff, one of the 4 HPC guys on loop 2psorrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406636661137790810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33014999.post-7538300463212195932011-06-26T17:13:41.204-07:002011-06-26T17:13:41.204-07:00Very Nice.

Gorgeous ride for sure; the guys I rode with put it ahead of RAMROD...<br /><br />My P-I post will be up "soon."Cascade Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193396540235782566noreply@blogger.com
