6/20/09 Ride

[Psycho1]

Went out on a ride with a couple friends today. Our route took us up over the Cascade Mountains, through Crater Lake National Park, then down along the Rogue River. We stopped at a cool spot where the river actually goes completely undergrpound for 200' travels through a lava tube, then boils back out the other end. It was an impresive sight, and you could hear and feel the power of the water flowing underground. Was supposed to be at least 3 more bikes on this ride, but the cool overcast weather seems to have scared some people away lol. I got rained on on my way home from town after the ride, and also got to deal with 30-35mph gusty crosswinds.

Here's a few pics.
