Today’s ride included two 10mi climb, the first one up to
Grangeville and the second one up to the white bird pass. I followed the Lochsa
River this morning for another 25mi and stopped in Kooskia for breakfast where
Rich, a retired public school teacher, joined me.
Then I took of towards
Grangeville, which in the beginning was very gentle and then started to ascent
continuously.
Both climbs today reminded me a lot to some rides I did in the past in Switzerland, the first one
a rather classic pass route and then the second one felt like climbing “Pragel
Pass”. 
....and the overlook from the crest of white bird pass was so magnificent.
The
downhill lead via the old 95 hwy route and re-joined the new one after White
Bird again. The last 20mi lead me into a wonderful valley along the Salmon river until I reached Riggins, also called the white water
capital.
