HWY 20 possible opening

It definitely seems like the road should open very soon. Corinne and I were up there bking this week end beyond the gate at Diablo Lake Overlook.<br><br>The first 8 miles or so, the road is covered with snow...making biking a lot of fun :<br> <br><br>But as soon as the road made a turn and is more in a North-South orientation, it was completely bare.<br><br>There were only a few rocks on the road and these should be very easy to clean up...

Thanks for the photo, Michael.<br><br>I was planning on trying the same ride on Sunday, but the plans were stopped by the flu finding a critical member of my team.<br>The road looks pretty slick cycling on that ice.<br><br><br>A person with a moped could probably ski some good turns this week.

Take a gander at the snowpack at the mountain yonder in the photo. So very little snow.

<br>The road looks pretty slick cycling on that ice.<br><br>quote]<br><br><br>Looking at the road we at first thought there would be no way we could bike on it, but temperatures in the shade were really cold and the cold snow was gripping amazingly well. The tires were making some funny sounds on that snow. Pretty cool experience

There is an update today on the wsdot site.<br><br> www.wsdot.wa.gov/northcascades/pass/default.htm

Grippy sounds great, you can really get flying coming down that highway. At least, that was the fun part last year when I rode it.
