Trip Report

The Easy Pass Duathlon

July 15, 2021 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

The inspiration for this little project came from coach Jessica Kelley way back in 2015, who that year was ticking off routes in the UltraPedestrian Wilderness Challenge. Jessica did a point-to-point hike/trail run from Easy Pass trailhead to Thunder Creek trailhead. In her trip report she mentioned that some folks bike back to the start to make it a loop. Did someone say … [Read more...] about The Easy Pass Duathlon

Hudacek & Van Beek: Hood River to Canadian Border

October 19, 2020 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

On September 6, just a few days before the 2020 smokestorm hit Washington, Corbin Hudacek and Jamie Van Beek teamed up for a 7-day south-to-north off-road cycling adventure based on the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route. The duo covered 640 miles and over 72,000′ of climbing in 7 days all off-road and gravel except for a few paved … [Read more...] about Hudacek & Van Beek: Hood River to Canadian Border

Jessica Kelley: Solitude and Longing in the Yukon

Since then, Jessica’s athletic progression has led her away … [Read more...] about Jessica Kelley: Solitude and Longing in the Yukon

Cycling the North Cascades Highway

"We just climbed that." The incredible view from near the top of the eastern Washington Pass climb

By this time of year, I've usually cycled the North Cascades Hwy (WA State Hwy 20) out-and-back to Mazama at least twice. Unfortunately asthma has delayed my usual hit list of ambitious summertime rides. It's usually too hot in July to do a long ride with minimal water and shade, but last weekend high temps were only in the mid-80s so it was a go: A friend and I did the … [Read more...] about Cycling the North Cascades Highway

Annette Lake Trail

July 3, 2018 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

Humpback Creek near the start of the Annette Lake trail.

Sad to say, as far as area hikes go, I tend to replay my "greatest hits" list over and over. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1994 and only just got around to the Annette Lake Trail last weekend. Last Saturday I volunteered to help at the mile 10.4 aid station of the Cascade Super Series' Super Marathon. The Super Marathon is unique in that it is a Boston … [Read more...] about Annette Lake Trail
