A windy winter day in the gorge

Me and a couple buddies spent the morning on our bikes in the Columbia River Gorge. Beautiful (but windy!) day.

Location	Columbia River Gorge - Oregon side.
Date	01/18/26
Team	Lance, Melvin, Julio
Activity	Cycling
Stats	13.78 miles, 2:11, 1,000+ ascent
Conditions	Sunny and dry. Very windy in some stretches.

I arrived early and did a little warm up ride (around 3 miles). We started around 11am - got done around 2pm.

Some sections (heading East) were so windy that it was a fight to go downhill. The wind was icy and strong. Each of us wore many layers.

Lot's of things to see on this short trek. Waterfalls, bridges, mountains, the gorge.

Eventually the trail will continue another mile or so to the Mitchell Point trail and through the tunnels.
