Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Loup Loup Pass Loop (pics)

Beth and I spent the weekend in the Methow Valley. We got a hotel room in Winthrop, lost count of the cyclists riding over Washington Pass on the drive out, and I got to do a ride over Loup Loup Pass and down Beaver Creek. The way up was lovely, the road climbs out of the scablands into a burn zone and finally reaches a ponderosa forest. The way down was scenic but badly washboarded and it kind of sucked.
