| PNW Road Riders ACR 08 Date 10/11/08 -10/13/08 ACR stands for Autumn Colors Ride. For me it was the Colville ride. I would have preferred to do it earlier in the year. The weather was clear but pretty cold in the mornings. The ride was to be a 3 day ride with one day over on Saturday. Local area ride on Sunday and return on Monday. Having already burned all my vacation days I could only do Saturday and Sunday. We meet Saturday morning at the Buzz Inn at Snohomish for breakfast and headed out a little after 9. It was cool at the start and as we crossed over Stevens Pass got darn cold down to the 30s area. There was moisture on the mountain so I was a little leery of the damp spots. |
| We took the Plain and Chumstick Hwy loop around Leavenworth. The Orondo Ascent is allways one of my favorite rides. I have mapped the ride from the Keller ferry area as that is were the real ride began. And ended the map at Highway 2 were I returned straight to Lynnwood on Sunday. The weather warmed up to the 60s during the day but Sunday it was down to the 26 area going over hwy 20. The gerbings (heated gear) was great. I did have a failure on my left glove however but I survived. Flowery Trail was a road I had long wanted to ride. It did not disappoint and was great. Another great weekend in 2008. |
