Gather at the Olympic National Forest HQ parking lot at 9:30 AM, and kickstands up at 10:00. We'll ride south along Black Lake, through Capitol Forest and Mima Mounds area, and enjoy some nice twisty roads over Michigan Hill into Galvin. Next we will head east into North Centralia, and out Hanaford Valley Road past the power plant/TransAlta site, and up through the Tono Hills on more nice twistys and back toward the north through Tenino (where lunch can be sourced at the Sandstone & Quarry Bar) and Tumwater, finishing where we started or, if there is interest, gathering for lunch in Olympia, perhaps at Hector's Tacos.
The route is 73 miles, about 2 hours total not counting stops, and we'll stop for lunch either in Tenino or back in Olympia, depending on how folks feel about timing.
Questions? Concerns? let me know.
