Labor Day Ride

TJ, Justin and I (Ray) went for a short ride today about 75 miles and 3 hours (including lunch). The weather was cool and cloudy, about 60 degrees when we started and not much higher when we finished but it started clearing up after we finished and I got back home. TJ lead us through some nice roads in rural Washington a little northwest of Seattle. He's lucky to have such nice roads within just a few minutes of his house. The roads were a little damp in some spots, mostly in the deep shade. It was a nice ride that's worth doing again. I saved it on my GPS and am going to try to make a route out of it.



It was too bad that Susan couldn't go but her bike is still in the shop. It might get fixed this week. Hope hope! I've got some other rides planned and hope we can get to do some of them. One is going up Chuckanut Drive. That's a beautiful drive along the Sound just south of Bellingham. It's noted for it's narrow and tight curves. It has several viewpoints looking out over the Sound toward the San Juan Islands. It is not a fast ride but has good scenery and convenient places to stop and really enjoy it. Maybe next Saturday if the weather and the bike doctor cooperates.
