This ride was early last summer (2003) - maybe May or June?
Low cloud deck means fun in the sun? I think not!

Chief Mountain is socked in - What will the pass be like? Much anticipation on our parts...

The last blue skies we'll see today.

Off we go...

Obligatory pic of Wild Goose Island - at least, that's what I think it's called!

So far we've been riding in a rather warm mist. As we climb it has been getting colder, so I stop here to don warmer gloves and roll my wind shell sleeves down. You can see the road across the valley climbing up just below treetop level on the left...

No horn to honk, so I yell at the top of my lungs as I go through the tunnel - and yes, the rain is coming down quite hard now!

The summit! I'm standing in about 8" of water pooled in the snowdrift at the base of the sign. The lady who took the shot was laughing her head off!

Cropped view of the trusty Centurion on his trusty Centurion! Woof!

The trip back down was very fast and very cold! No pedalling for 10 miles, soaking wet clothing and no sun had me stiffer than a board at the bottom - But what a great ride!
Oh, by the way, this was an incredibly easy post!
