Northwest Crank (Day 3) – Up, up and away to Badger Mountain (via Orondo)

A shorter day today as we were all going to go to the carnival in the afternoon. I followed the same route up Badger Mountain that I rode last year (after omitting a 20 mile loop at the start before the main climb).

Susan and the kids met me near the summit and then we all spent some time hanging out at the top before a speedy descent back down to the Inn.
