Nice looking ride. Any wind in your face on the return?
I'm from SE WA and I ride a loop from Maryhill Museum once a year (80 mi +/-). HWY 14 > HWY 97 > HW142 > HWY14. Great mountain views. Not nearly as much vegetation. We typically get a really big push from the wind coming east on HWY14. I'm always happy to have it at my back.
