We'll continue on North Little Spokane Drive turn left at E. Golden Drive and make our way through the neighborhood to East Colbert Road to North Yale Road. Then we ride some scenic rollers on Big Meadows. At Day Mt. Spokane Road we begin the 4-mile climb to Green Bluff. Beck’s Harvest House at mile 32 will be a welcome refueling stop and the only guaranteed toilet location.
