wimsey Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Central Oregon: I'm planning to bike from Bend up Cascades Lake Highway, climb S. Sister or Broken Top and bike back, fitness outing, guessing about 8 hours. Anyone interested in coming along? This Friday or Sat? I was biking down from Bachelor last Friday and saw a couple guys heading up on bikes with trail shoes bungeed to their camelbacks, so I know you are out there. Open to other adventurous endurance suggestions as well Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulock Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Just a word of warning, there is still a ton of snow (for end of July). I camped at Green Lakes two weeks ago (lakes right in between S.Sister and Broken Top) and we hit snow less than a mile from the trailhead and hiked through it for more than 70% of our 5.5 mile jaunt. I've read there is snow on S. Sister all the way to the summit ridge. The snow seems about a month behind schedule, so it might be a tad slower going than you expected.

gorgeouos Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 snow can make it faster if you're heading up while it's still firm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
