I'd like to hit up a pass at some point this season, time is ticking!
Hurricane Ridge is fun, I would say it's easier than Blewett, not sure about old Blewett though.

Training status: legs feel pretty good today, will go for spin at some point.
The road's fine for a rarely maintained forest service road. No worse than some of the Seattle roads I've ridden on that could use a complete repave. It's narrow, gravel in corners, potholes and rough sections. You just don't want to attack the descent. I only saw one small washed out bit going up, and it wasn't the whole width. I just pretended I was on one of those goat paths they use for climbs in the Giro.
