Mt. St. Helens/GPNF fall ride

[Eric B]

I rode a 316 mile loop this last Friday. I left my house at 8:30 AM and got back a little after 4 PM. I rode from Tacoma, down through Morton on Hwy 7 and then over to Randle on Hwy 12. From there I rode NF 25 south and picked up NF 99 up to Windy Ridge. From there, I went back to NF25 and went south through Cougar and then west on Hwy 503. From there, I needed to blast home so I slabbed it up I-5 to Hwy 12 and took that to Morton. I took a short break there, and continued back home up Hwy 7.

Overall, I pretty much had the roads to myself and had a great ride. The road was slippery in some areas due to the cold nights and fog so I had to take it easy here and there. Anyways, here are some pics:
