Every year we try to do at least one day ride to Mt Rainier, and last Thursday was the day. It's not a particularly curvy ride, and we often get stuck behind motor homes and travel trailers, but the scenery is worth it. It was probably just as well it was not too curvy as I had put a new front tire on the bike and it felt like I had power steering. It took me awhile to get used to it, but when I did, I really liked the improved handling.
At the altitude of the lodge the mountain was in full autumn splendor:
L to R, Leo, Mike, me

I turned 9,000 miles on the bike, which I bought in April. The end of the real riding season is coming up, but I will probably have over 10K miles before winter.
