Just like last weekend I had a mid sized ride on the gravel bike and rode the mountain bike the next day and my legs didn't last as long as I had hoped. It was the pre watch season opener for the grandest team of them all. The Seahawks as they start a new campaign today.
The ride was from the old school Mill Creek spot and I climbed out of Blue man and and rode down Dirty Mattress and reversed my heading and was enroute to the Lower Ewok river trail. It's called Rattlesnake as per Trailforks and have probably named it on here before but hey I forget sometimes.
I climbed up into Upper Ewok and made it up the steep climb right out of the parking lot. It used to be a rideable climb and then I started shift work and a huge downhill slide in riding and bike ownership started.
The climb up the steep up into Ewok and all the other steeps was a badly needed ego boost. I even passed some guys walking their bikes up one hill and I gotta tell ya. That ego was swelling. The big ego was smashed on West Coast trail as I started getting sloppy and when I found Blue Man Group I was all over the map.
So I took the hint and rode paved back to the vehicle. One of the better rides of the year for sure.
