Findley evening ride

Tonight we wanted to go on a slightly longer ride than just findley and back.  The standard Findley ride is right at 9 miles.  This evening it was 11 miles.  We went up the next ridge, near a logging operation.  There is a great view from up there, there is one more ridge to climb up there to get a panoramic view.  We stopped at the first saddle.  See the locations on the map.  We were able to talk as we climbed --we weren't going 100%.  We still made good time to the top.  I forgot to reset the timer so I don't have an exact time for the ride.  It was about 1hr 15 minutes.  Most of the time on the climb the % grade was hovering around 12 to 15 percent.  The total vertical was 1850 ft.
