Selected photos from the various rides on the remaining 3 days.
Friday was a day of climbing (~70 miles with 3 decent climbs). The last one was up to the Mission Ridge ski area. It’s always a good sign of a decent climb when you reach snow level.
Susan and the kids drove over Friday night so on Saturday I decided to do a straight climb up Badger Mountain from the front side so that I’d be back for the afternoon (~40 miles). 2 1/2 hours of steady climbing from the hotel door. Eric and Maggie caught up to me for the last couple miles to the summit where we relaxed for a bit at the SIR support and then turned for a fast descent. It started sleeting and hailing on the way down so it was good to lose a bit of altitude and get back into the sun.
Saturday afternoon saw us heading over to Ohm gardens. (My legs felt the slopes a bit walking around with Ethan on my back 🙂 )
Sunday was the 200k (126 mile) ride and a magnificent loop around the east of Wenatchee. A good climb followed by Rift Valley type landscape on the other side of the mountains.
