A Few More RAMROD Images

A few more photos from Thursday's adventure around Mt. Rainier.

Here I am in Eatonville - about 70 miles into the ride. (~30 miles in to Ramrod). I like how the truck looks like it's bearing down on me.. (these two are from a photographer, and I bought the photos in case you're wondering)

Climbing towards "Paradise," smiling for the camera. I was hoping you'd be able to see my Schmidt E6 lamp burning, but I guess during the day it doesn't do a lot of good. Works well in the shade of course.

Mt. Rainier National Park. Made all the climbing worth it.

The Ciocc on a dirt road - just a pit stop.

Schmidt E6 lamp, Shimano dynohub, in motion.

10 PM, rolling into seattle. 230 miles done! It was raining hard at this point.

And finally, a pointless video of me doing 32 km/h (20 mph) on the way back home (Highway 169).

Mercer Island Loop & Some Random Snow

This was the scene yesterday on Mercer Island: (the last part of the video was me trying to turn the camera off, sorry)



The ice patch was luckily abnormal for the day, go figure. This was just off the I-90 bike trail on Mercer Island. It was cold, but a great day to do another loop on Mercer Island. Got caught by two racer-types, but held their pace for a while. I think the handlebar bag gives me the advantage of surprising people when they try to drop. (Not that I'm the fastest kid on the block, but I like to try not to be dropped anyway)

Total Disance: 40 km
