Olallie-Change Peak-Mt. Washington: Because it was there...Unlike George Mallory, I made it to the summit, so I don't think I will be going back to the top of Mt. Washington. The last section involved a fairly long hike-a-bike both up and down that required me to carry the bike over downed trees, boulders, etc. Not a lot of fun in that. Early in the 12 mile descent, I punctured my rear tire on a sharp-edged rock. Having only one tube, I spent some time making sure that I had a good repair, and took it very easy the rest of the way down. Normally I bomb back down Olallie, so that was a kind of a nice change of pace. The best thing about the climb to the top was the incredible view of Mt. Rainier, which looked absolutely huge!
