[ST] Riding in NW

[Agate47@xxxxxxx]

Howdy from the Great NW,

I got out for a couple nice rides this weekend after doing my "have to's".  
Saturday I romped down south of my home in Auburn into Eastern Pierce County 
along a couple lakes and back home on one of the faster roads to get home for 
dinner.  The sky was Severe Clear and temps in the low to mid-60s.

Sunday a friend at church mentioned a forest road east of Greenwater off 
Highway 410 going into the Cascade mountains.  Forest Road 70 has 10 mile of nice 
pavement.  The first couple miles were straight and I wondered what was the 
attraction other than the nice forest.  Then I went up and over a nice hill with 
a mix of 12% grade and 20 mph hairpins.  Tasty.  The only downside was that 
air got quite a bit cooler in the shade of the hills and trees, not to mention 
a little extra elevation.  All in all an interesting road, though not much at 
the end of the pavement.

The drought here will have consequences later in the summer, but the riding 
is great now.
