Had a family gathering to celebrate the 100th anniversary of my parents house. First time all the siblings and 90% of the grandchildren had been together in quite a few years. Since I was in the Palouse again I had to go tackle Steptoe Butte that we just rode two weeks ago in the Tour de Palouse. This time I tackled the climb at 7:30 am so the temps were much better. Unfortunately, the only rain I encountered was at the summit, and big heavy drops at that, and I couldn't cut it loose on the downhill with wet tires. Still a fun ride - wish I could do it more often. My dad used to do intervals on that climb - the most being 5 in one day.
