Today's ride...

Decided to forego my usual climbing intensive Saturday, and went for a relatively flat 80-miler up to the Thirtymile Trailhead, 12 miles South of the Canadian border as the crow flies...

The bridge over Andrews Creek - the end of the pavement...

An unexpected little frog pond off the side of the gravel road...

The steep hillsides lining the Chewuch River near Thirtymile...

A memorial for the four firefighters that lost their lives 12 years ago this past week in the Thirtymile fire...

The Chewuch River and the still scarred hillsides at Thirtymile...

End of the road at the Thirtymile Trailhead - going to have to see how far I can get on the crossbike on that trail sometime ; )

The "White Roads" of the Methow...

Heading down valley, back home...
