Hurricane Ridge

Dave and I took the ferry to Port Angeles, Washington to ride Hurricane Ridge. It was early on the bike at 5:15am with breakfast and coffee on the Coho Ferry. Once over to the other side it was off the ferry to start climbing right away: 18 miles at a 7-8% incline until we reached the top. The good news is that Dave was happy to ride at my pace and lend encouragement. We took 2:30 to get up - an hour slower than Dave's PB of 1:27. We dedicated the ride to the memory of Gunther Gustav Wilhelm Simon. The view, ice cream at the top and the 40+ minute descent were reward for the effort. To top off the day there were 4-5 pods of Orcas feeding in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was an excellent day.
