Training update Jun 6

Last Friday Noel, Steve, Daria & I rode form Enumclaw (elevation 800') to Crystal Mountain ski resort (elev. 4,600'), a distance of 38 miles (76 round trip).  The last 2,000' elevation gain is in the last 6 miles, a representative mountain climb.  The only bad part of the trip was the discovery that the Snorting Elk restaurant at the resort wasn't open on Friday's, so we ate at the Naches Tavern in Greenwater on the way out.  Great day, good workout -- a welcome respite from the miserable Spring weather we've had.
