Here's a couple of shots from my ride yesterday up Old Blewett Pass. It couldn't have been a better day, sunny and warm, but not to hot. I rode out from Roslyn, through Cle Elum and then up Hiway 97 to the old Blewett Pass Hiway. Hiway 97 had a pretty wide shoulder and the cars and trucks were generous with space. Although I was happy to have all of the Old BP road to myself once I turned off. I didn't see any owls, but the views were pretty awesome towards the top.
Coming down the old pass road was pretty techical with a few hairpin turns. Needless to say I was on the brakes alot. The pace on the descent was pretty fast and there were a few hairy turns, but exhilerating nonetheless. I capped it off with a tall chocolate milkshake at the burger stand just outside of Cle Elum.
62 miles roundtrip, 3 1/2 hours, with about 15 miles of climbing.
