So I headed over the North Cascades highway on Friday the 25th. Left work in Seattle at noon. Was riding the pass in the afternoon. The road is in pretty bad shape. The night before, I believe it iced up and DOT sanded and de-iced. The shaded areas were particularily dodgy - still had moisture on them to go with the sand. Nice.
Even the cars were taking it slow.
So- if you ride the route - be careful. I have some pics to post later of a flipped SUV that was in the a bad state from the conditions. I'm at work now and can't post pics.
And yes... I did ask myself why I was on this road so late in the season.
Well... the PNW has not seen any freakin' weather in 3 weeks since a huge high pressure has been parked over us - so I said yah, the roads will be fine. Plus, I got new heated gear as well. So-yah, out I went!
