With the landslide on 504, this year's ride will be different from any other. We won't be able to get all the way to Johnston Ridge, but we can ride the curvy roads up to the closure point and then back down. We'll sort out the path after that while eating breakfast in Vader. It will be a lesson in how to have fun with a Butler map and a GPS that can create intentionally curvy paths from Point A to Point B. I am definitely open to suggestions on how to spend the day out riding.

I don't see a problem. In fact, it might make the ride better.

You'll get as far as the Coldwater Lake viewpoint. The view from there is actually decent, if I remember right. Plus, you may get less traffic since everyone will think you can't see anything. Sometimes the closer you are, the less you can see.

This looks like a good view.

I wonder how many "laps" we could run before someone from Washington State Patrol want to stop and have a chat with us about our enthusiasm, and maybe event document our performance for us so we could have written proof to show our friends when they said we were just telling fish stories. :unsure:
 
I've got a couple of route options for the start of the day. First option is to ride for a little over two hours plus whatever downtime we add for stopping here and there, and then stop for lunch at the Mexican place in Castle Rock. The second option adds an hour of riding and puts us back in Vader, eating lunch at the same place as breakfast. Once we meet on Saturday we can decide which plan to follow, or we can cook up something completely different.
