Riding fixed in the mountains does add a sense of adventure. Here are some more photo's from that same ride:
A signpost on the way up cayuse pass by the white river entrance

cayuse pass summit in early july. when I rode RAMROD at the end of july all the snow was gone

The best section is stevens canyon road. This tunnel is just past the box canyon

peak along the way

A waterfall near the top of steven canyon

Parked outside paradise lodge

Lunch sitting in this chair inside the lodge

On the return leg, I stopped at this overlook

The real acid test is climbing the backside of cayuse when you are tired from a long day of riding.
