What better way to polish off the year that was 2014 than to head up to Tumalo for a quick split lap?
Surprisingly, the weather up at the mountain was nicer than it was in town. A couple thousand feet in elevation gain provided for warmer temps. Dutchman Sno Park was a disaster! I have never seen it that busy with people stacked double time for parking. It was NUTTY. We ended up going over to Sunrise parking lot and trudging across the road in order to get a lap in at Tumalo.
The skies were clear so I was looking forward to the views as we ascended...as usual the views were kick butt.
The skin up was so toasty that I removed my gloves...until we peaked at which point it was time to bundle up as the temps moved from the mid 30's to the single digits.
We transitioned to ride mode and took a super mellow aspect down and got as many turns in as possible.
ohh, sweet nectar for the soul - ohhh and atlas shrugged:
