Route update Pullman to Cheney to Ritzville

Last Saturday I biked the route from Pullman to St John to Cheney and beyond. I missed the 'turn' at Marshall, and suddenly realized I was coming up on Hy 195 - bummer. That meant I had to crank up the hill West of Spokane. I went on to Medical Lake and the back roads on the route as far as Tyler. At 130 Miles for the day and the temperature nearly 90 and me out of water, I concluded that was far enough. Looks like we'll have to take the freeway the few miles from Tyler to Fishtrap Lake exit, the side 'road' became gravel after a mile. My wife picked me up and we drove on the route to Ritzville, actually a pretty nice route. Of course it was GREEN on Saturday, once we're out of the trees there won't be green stuff next September.
