Bucket List checked off. Riding with Tom and Verna from the Y spin class. Much better and faster than me but they are 15 years younger. Beautiful weather for Rainier and the views were stunning. Heavier traffic than normal especially on highway 410. Lots of campers and trailers and not much shouldier.
I knew this was a level 1 assist day but the first steep 4 miles was without assist as it was not connected. Then level 1 with occassional level 2 to the summit. Took 2:29 vs 2:27 last year. Saw a young man who was trying to set a Strava record of 90 minutes twice in one day. Sweet fast decent and then on to Cayuse Pass and Chinook Pass
Data: Level 1 at park entrance and to the top. had 64% battery left Level one with 3 minutes of level 2 but at Cayuse pass switch to level 2 because I had a lot of battery. Finished at 28%
