This is a "photo blog post" of Sunday's ride in the mountains.  Here you go:

We rode about 7-8 miles down the east side of Chinook Pass and, then, headed back up.  This photo shows Les and Dwaine within sight of the top of the Pass as they ascend from the east...

Group shot at Chinook Pass (second time up for the morning)...

After ascending Chinook Pass from both directions, we headed down to Cayuse Pass, took a photo of this sign at Cayuse, and headed down the south side of Cayuse Pass...

We turned around when we reached the tunnel and headed back up Cayuse...


View as we head back up the south side of Cayuse Pass...

We have now passed Cayuse Pass and are heading up to Chinook for a third time...

Really, Cindy, this photo was NOT my idea...!!!

Mike somewhere on the way up to Chinook Pass (west side)...

Mike and Les at Chinook Pass (third time up this morning)...

"Selfie at Chinook"...

Back at the cars (at the turnoff to Crystal Mtn. Ski Area).  Mike was done.  Les and Dwaine headed up the the ski area - TWICE!!!


Dwaine at Crystal Mtn. Ski Area repairing a flat.  He must be smiling because he knows that it is downhill all the way back to the car...
