One key piece of data all Seattleites should know is that just over the mountains there lurks a drier, sunnier land. That proved true yesterday when Konrad and I left the rain and drove over to Cashmere for a September gulch ride. Sunny and 70 when we started, and greeted by a black bear cub on the road not 2 minutes from commencing the ride! After a good look for momma bear, we continued on.
We rode up the trail and gave kudos to the Evergreen team for doing some fantastic trail work - widening the trail where needed on the steep slopes of Devil's Gulch.
We only rode up to the intersection with the Mission Creek trail as it was getting cold and there were heavy clouds hanging out. Back down then up the Red Devil for a fantastic finish. Down below 4000' it was warm and sunny again. Good way to wrap up the Eastern Wa rides - I don't hold out hope that I can squeeze in another this year!
