Post Ride - 9/1/16

     We are in the state of Washington!  We did not anticipate 95 degree weather on a mountain.  As we climbed to Paradise Lodge at 5400 feet on Mt. Rainier, the temperature was well into the 90's and the road was under construction so there were sections of gravel and ridged pavement.  In addition, it was the 100th anniversary of the parks and, therefore, all were admitted for free.  WE made the decision to cut the ride short as we were headed for the hottest part of the ride.  Well, that leaves the other half for another ride.  Next time, I'll check the weather more closely.  All in al, a good ride with my brother, Howard.
