Don't mess.
Our first pass since VT. It was a rude awakening. And what a stupid name. Much too upbeat.
A beautiful sight.
Even prettier and well earned. The sign just after Sherman Pass, which is the highest pass in the state of Washington, the entire state. What did you do today?
For this ride, I absolutely crushed the climb. There was no stopping me. One of the better days for me.
Doesn't even deserve the name of a pass. While it was a climb and tough, on the whole everyone thought it was on the easier side. If you can't see, the elevation is 4310'.
As we approached this pass, the weather made it look like we were riding straight into Mt. Doom.
A monstrous switchback. I didn't even realize it was a switchback until I looked behind to take a picture. This was on the way up to Washington Pass on our ridiculous terrible day.
Look how happy I look. Sure I might be a bit cold and a bit wet, but still accomplished. I had no idea of the downhill to come. Or the bathroom I'd be hiding in trying to warm up for the next hour and a half.
After warming up, we pressed on to tackle Rainy Pass at 4855'. I'm am no longer accomplished and very wet and very cold. Notice the tights that are now on my legs and the expression on my face. Our last pass and hurdle of our trip. God forbid we get off easy.
