Gran Fondo Goldendale

Today I participated in my first organized cycling events since 2019 – Gran Fondo Goldendale. The route is close to the border between Washington and Oregon states and passes near the Columbia River Gorge. It is a mix of paved and gravel road with a bunch of decent climbs that add up to more than 6000 feet of elevation gain over 88 miles. Here are some pictures from the ride.

The last two pictures are from a nearby Maryhill Park that has a Stonehenge replica and great views towards Columbia River Gorge.
