Outdoor adventures, mostly gravel rides, but not always
A HC climb to the Hurricane Ridge Visitors center, then a punchy gravel classic
This year’s edition of Ride the Hurricane had two great changes from last year:
Steep climbing to an alpine lake, then a more climbing to a ridge with expansive views of the Olympics
My fifth trip up to Lake Angeles, but first time in the summer, did not disappoint. A beautiful lake view rewards this steep Olympics climb. Unlike my typical winter foray we left the lake behind us and climbed the Klahhane Ridge Trail to an exceptional lunch spot with clear views to Mt Olympus and its glaciers.
A classic mountain climb into the heart of the Olympics
I had been wanting to ride this event for a long time but the timing never worked out. Finally this year the dates aligned and I was able to ride it.
