2021 Snarl Par-Tay Day 6 – Summit to Surf
With a day to kill before arriving at the Par-Tay, I choose to ride by Mt. Ranier and then out to the Pacific coast before returning to Puget Sound.

2021 Snarl Par-Tay Day 4 – Minor Derailment
Bad luck prevents me from getting a reasonable start down Montana highway 200. By the time I get to Missoula, the remaining route is drowning in rain and wind. Decisions…

Days 13 and 14 of my Redbeard Cruise were sideways kind of days.
