Any more ideas for Eastern WA? Thanks again....
These roads are snowed in right now, but....
If your bike can handle gravel roads and you like a good climb, try the roads in the canyons on the south flank of Table Mountain out of Kittitas. The Colockum Pass road is good, but rough; I usually ride the roads up Coleman Canyon or Cooke Canyon. These do get some traffic on weekends, particularly during hunting season, but rarely more than a car every few minutes. I particularly choose these when the banshee west winds are screaming in the valley; you often then get tailwinds for these climbs, and the complex topography tends to calm them quite a bit. Another option is USFS road 35; it's paved for the first few miles and has superb views of the valley, but it's a very grueling climb and gets lots of traffic in the summer. Sometime when I'm in a masochistic mood I want to ride it up to Lion Rock; it would be something like a 4000' elevation gain.
