Glacier Ride
by Dennis Cramer on Jul, 17 2018
The three amigos shown here at the top of the last major pass in Washington state. The tour was a west to east trip from Sedro-Wooley to the top of Logan Pass in Glacier National Park and then back to Columbia Falls, MT. We traveled the North Cascades Hwy for much of the travel through Washington. We covered 870 miles and climbed 44,000′ on our trek. 
We had 4 days of rain while on our trip but most occurred while we were in our tents. One particularly bad day we were out riding in a downpour for 2 1/2 hours. This was a leg from Libby, MT to Eureka, MT and covered 78 miles along Lake Koocanusa. I love touring and would go again even with the adverse conditions we saw that day.

{"id":674,"title":"Brisk (SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19 VIRUS)","description":"Brisk rides are for strong riders who want to ride at a brisk *average pace, with occasional sprints, and brisk climbs. The route and starting point will vary - expect some climbing and, in fact, on most days, a lot. Riders should know how to make repairs. Riders are expected to review online and understand the planned route. The Brisk group is NOT a no-drop group, slower riders are discouraged. <br \/>\r\n*Average Speeds \u2013 The speeds listed are average speeds maintained for the entire ride, not the minimum or maximum speeds. To maintain the average ride speed, riders will ride far faster and far slower at times. While not required, a cycle-computer is helpful to judge average speed. In some situations, leaders may feel the conditions justify a slower average minimum speed.","start_location":"Start Location Varies","unprefixed_start_location":"Start Location Varies","pace":"Brisk (>18 mph)","terrain":"Hilly","distance":"50+","ride_leader":"Dennis Cramer","phone_number":"541-773-5804 ","email":"scramer5804@charter.net","time":"Start time Varies","date":{"timestamp":1600585140,"formatted":"Saturday, Sep 19","midnightTimestamp":1600498800,"dayOfWeek":"Saturday"}}
