“Yesterday
we rolled into Olympic national park. Not an easy task as we had to carry 2 days’
worth of food five miles up a mountain. It was all in preparation for our big
challenge of the trip, HURRICANE RIDGE. This is a challenge that cyclists from
all over the area come to do and brag about having done. In total the climb is
about 17 miles and the top is 5,200 ft. We were lucky to be able to camp at
Heart of the Hills campsite just inside the park boundary shortening our climb
today to a mere 12 miles and 3,000ft gain. Everyone accomplished this amazing
feat and we got to enjoy crystal clear views from the top of Mount Olympus and
the rest of the Olympics. Everyone enjoyed the downhill and we are closing in
on our last few days of camping.” -- Darcy, Trip Leader
