Outdoor Adventures

As it's turning into fall, we've been trying to get in a few more outdoor adventures while the weather keeps up all this sunshine and warmth (sort of)! A couple weekends ago, we went on a lovely day hike in the Cascades. We had actually done this hike once before, but the last time it was super foggy so we weren't able to get a great view at the lake. This time it was perfect!

This hike was a lot more strenuous than I remembered, and this time we were able to hike up above the lake and get some great views!

The next weekend (which is now several weekends ago) we joined some friends in renting a house in Port Angeles for a weekend and doing some mountain biking. There's a weekend long event called Biketoberfest that has mountain biking events all weekend. I joined in on the Saturday ride which was a 20 mile cross country ride. 20 miles didn't seem so bad on a bike...but then you put that bike on a mountain! 4 hours later we were pretty beat! It was an awesome ride though and they set it up so there were 4 stations along the ride where you got a playing card. At the end of your ride you got your final card in your poker hands, then the best hands won prizes! How fun is that?!

Here's Ryan and I along the ride ;)
