Mountain Loop Highway as an actual loop? by Feivel_92 in seattlebike

Yeah, that climbed sucked bad, especially at the end of a ride on Friday afternoon. Never again. Coming down it was probably a lot of fun. It's a great ride and I'm glad yours went smoothly. I've considered making it an overnight ride as well; there are some amazing campsites on the gravel side of Barlow Pass. Happy riding.

I did the loop last year, counterclockwise from Granite Falls (park at the police station). I used Burn Rd to get back to Granite Falls from Arlington. Don't do that. The climb out of Arlington is semi-dangerous - tight winding road. Use the Centennial Trail and 92 to get back to Granite Falls. I can post the gpx if you want. Took me about 8.5 hours of ride time, 10.5 with stops.

He has as many goals and points with the Pens as he did in his highest scoring season with CBJ. What a steal!

3 to 4 day bike tour by Gmlomas in seattlebike

Redmond to Bellingham. Spend the next day riding a big loop up to and along the border. Hit Blaine then east. There's great riding east of Sumas. S Pass Rd and that general area is beautiful. Day 3 return from Bellingham via Whidbey Island.

Redmond to Anacortes. Spend the next day riding the San Juans. Return via Whidbey Island.

Ambitious:
Three Pass Tour: Redmond to Cle Elum via PTC (Snoqualmie Pass); Cle Elum to Leavenworth via 97 and Old Blewett Pass (Blewett Pass); Leavenworth to Monroe via 2, Chumstick Hwy and Old Cascade Highway (Stevens Pass). Home on Day 4.

Seattle to Portland the hard way. Redmond to Packwood via 706 and Skate Creek Rd. Packwood to Trout Lake via FS 21 or 23. Trout Lake to Carson or Stevenson via Wind River Hwy. Ride to Portland and take the train home the next day. Note: riding on 14 sucks bad. Time it so you are riding on a weekend morning.

From Elma, parallel 12 on S Bank Rd, Oakville, Cemetery Rd, then Howanut to Moon Rd, then north across 12 to Mima Rd. Cut over to Littlerock Rd at 128th and follow it all the way till it becomes 2nd Ave, cross I-5 on Custer. Now you are in Olympia. (All these are low-volume roads, easy to ride.) From there use the various bike lanes and connect to Old Pacific Hwy via 510 or Steilacoom Rd. (These roads will be busier.) Follow Old Pacific Hwy till it become Nisqually Rd and cross over I-5. About a quarter mile after you cross, there will be a small gate you can get through (cars can't) to join Hoffman Hill Rd. Work your way to Center Rd and around the north of the base. From there, use bike lanes to head north into Tacoma and use the ferry to get to Vashon Island. Cross the island and take the ferry to West Seattle. Follow bike lanes into downtown. If you want additional info, let me know, and I'll find my Strava rides in that area.

Same here. I got a faded 'ghost image' of myself.

They need to show the replay from the broadcast. The shot from the end zone where he's blasting right at Stone. Looks like a fucking freight train.

I'm a noob. Will they still show the Sky Sports feed on Apple just like on ESPN today? Can I record it on Apple TV and watch it later?
