BTW, there is a very nice hot spring at the bottom of the pass on the McKenzie River. It's just the thing after the day on the bike.

Are there stats on that climb anywhere? Looks like it would be a good winter-training goal, be able to ride up the pass so early in the season.

The pass is at 5800 ft, from the Mckenzie River it's about 4000 ft of climbing in 16 miles. Availibility depends on snow fall over winter. last year snow was all the way down to gates until June.
This photo is from mid-May and was taken 7 miles from McKenzie River, really low on the road. If we get a light snow year, yes, you can train on the road beyond the gate.

A field of dahlias I saw in the Kent Valley.

descending that part is actually scary, since it's a tight turn, and there's a big drop-off on the other side of the rail.

That is one nasty hill. The first time I did it was at the end of a hilly 80 mile training ride in the Cascade RAMROD training series. It seemed like that climb would never end.

These are from the Straits of Georgia in southern British Columbia. Still Pacific Northwest, right?

I came across some pictures of my last ride up Mt. Baker. It was the nicest day I think I have ever seen up there. Thought I would share them to help us all get through this winter weather.
