July 30: Approaching Mt. Hood


Following a pasta lunch (cheese ravioli with pesto, plus M&Ms), we continued our 52 mile ride to Timberline Lodge located on Mt. Hood.

I think this pic was taken by fellow rider Russell Ewers, near the start of the six mile long descent off Bennett Pass (elevation 4647 ft). We were entranced by the cloud formation off the peak.

It's about 4.30 pm and we still have about 14 miles of riding to reach the lodge - the last 6 miles are uphill (approx 2000+ feet).
