Obliteride went well! I had a great ride.
My collarbone injured shoulder has actually gotten kind of worse, but was just at the doc and he thinks it just has a bunch scar tissue that I need to work through. MRI and then maybe cortisone shot next. We'll see but I'm going to get more aggressive with my PT.
Good luck with your organization efforts! I do see a more women doing the gravel races and cyclocross, so there is hope. Its just so many things going on for cycling these days and I guess the time investment into bikepacking races might be a factor. Have you looked into that one down in Oregon? Called the Big Lonely I think....may have just happened.
Sorry to hear your shoulder isn't 100%! I hope you can change that.
I hadn't heard of that one, thanks for putting it on my radar!

Let me know if you want to join the team im doing it with
How was your Obliteride and how's your collarbone?
In other bike news, I am trying to encourage more women and gender-diverse people to participate in the bikepacking races we have in Washington! I've been bikepacking for just a couple of years and last month I rode the Washington High-Lite race. It was fun and interesting in some unexpected ways and I learned a ton. But only two other women joined the race! 😭 If you know any non-dudes (or maybe this describes you, dear reader) who enjoy bikepacking or gravel riding in a "try to keep moving at a good steady clip" kind of way, or might be interested in it, I want to talk with them! I think in April or May there will be a group weekend bikepacking ride coordinated by these people https://thetownbicycle.com/washington-bikepacking-women-group/
My goal is to bring three people to the next race I do (May or June).
Thanks for reading!

Did you stop to swim in any of the lakes, though? (I assume there are at least a few tarns?)

This is an amazingly informative TR -- CC lives on as a fantastic source of beta because of you and others who put so much time and thought into their TRs! I don't think I could even follow that route, but this writeup and set of photos makes me want to get out there!

It was a dark and scary night... Wait no, it was a beautiful sunny day, around dusk. We passed the gate plastered with signs warning us.... we noticed many good sketch camp spots along the nice gravel road.... we kept going... we stopped when we saw all the Stuff Showing Activity, had a discussion about the alternatives, Cassidy and I brow-beat Aaron into agreeing with us, then the three of us crept -- somehow -- on bikes, pedaling silently and slowly, past a large black truck with two of its doors open... somehow unspotted, we wove our way through the gravel labyrinth roads... finding a dead-end (huge mountain of gravel) yet with some expert sleuthing (e.g., heading up a different road for two minutes), found a way through! There was SOME hike-a-bike-ing but not much. SUCCESS!

As one motivation to get back on my bike, but also to support a local and amazing cause, I'm riding in the Fred Hutch Obliteride this August doing the 100 mile ride. Consider supporting my ride if you can and want to:
I want to share some good news with you. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, more than 5,700 clinicians, researchers, and staff are working together to improve cancer prevention, detection, and treatment that improves and saves lives. Thanks to research like this, there are already cures for some cancers — but Fred Hutch will continue this work until there are treatments and cures for EVERYONE who needs them. That’s where you come in! Please take action by donating to my Fred Hutch Obliteride fundraiser right now. Every dollar you give will go right to work at Fred Hutch.
Click here to donate now. https://bndfr.com/2Q2mm
Click here to go to my personal page: https://bndfr.com/2Q2mnFred Hutch helped my neighbor and a close friend become cancer survivors, it is amazing how far some treatments have come. But there is still a lot to be done.Thank you./porterThanks for posting this, Porter. I think I may join you in fundraising and riding the century.

@olyclimber HEY we were both bikin' around Goldendale on Sunday! I was just looking through the pics and I was like HEY that guy looks familiar and looked you up on the time score list. DNF! What happened?
It was my first ever timed bike "race" (we did it non-competitively), had a really fun time. #68 out of 87 finishers on an 89-mile course with no training, no long rides in the couple months beforehand, and having fun the whole way -- success! -

Damn, I am volunteering at the tool library that night until 8pm. If it's in Lake City and people are still around after 8, then I can make it!

Looks great, I’ve been meaning to ski that, did you park at the new sno park (Anetter Lake) or could you get farther?
Humpback wasn't our initial plan and we didn't have a sno-park pass with us, so with a little work, we were able to drive up the road toward the trailhead just a bit to park there. With a higher-clearance vehicle, we could have gone much farther up the road (there was at least a Jeep up there).
I'd really like to go back and explore the options across the drainage that you can see in my second photo...

Humpback on Saturday was a decidedly Great Ski Day. Lots of smiles.

[TR] Wahpenayo Peak - West Ridge 02/23/2024
in Mount Rainier NP
Posted
Trip Date: 02/23/2024
Trip Report:
Alex and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and ventured out to an area that I've wanted to visit for a few years: Wahpenayo Peak, in the western part of the Tatoosh range. It was amazing and I will definitely be back! The basin was beautiful and held fantastic cold soft snow on the north facing slopes, we had clear views ranging from the Olympics to four volcanoes to other Tatoosh peaks, and what I think was Tookaloo Spire. The ridge travel was certainly engaging and the mountain let us pass safely to and from the summit -- and not another soul in sight all day!
Gear Notes:
Skis. Brought sharp things but did not need them!
Approach Notes:
Enjoy!
