Mount St. Helens Ride - 6 Jun 15

Mark Hickman

Team,

I know a bunch of us are in the PNW, so wanted to see if anyone else was interested in doing a Mount St. Helens ride on 6 Jun as our 300 minute ride for the day; might take a bit longer.  I will likely be leaving from the Mount St. Helens visitor center and riding the Spirit Lake Hwy (HWY 504) to the Johnston Ridge Obsevatory and back.  I think the ride is right around 90 miles with around 6200' of elevation gain.  If you google "Tour de Blast" there are some elevation maps ect there.  Looks like it is mostly climbing or descending throughout:o) 

Let me know if anyone is interested and we can work out some deets...figure out some drop points for fuel/water, etc.

A video from bottom to top...looks like a fun ride Robin ~ been meaning to do it for a couple of years, and my time here is running short...

I've done that ride.the road surface and shoulder are great, once into the rehabbed area. I will be spending month of June, however, in my other mountains, in Colorado.

That sounds intriguing at this time. Maybe.

That sounds really difficult, 6k! Crazy man. I would like to do it, but I am on call and I am at a graduation party that day, so cannot.

Looks like I have acquired some SAG services from sis-in-law for this ride. So far, me and a buddy going up; me and my brother coming down. Mark
