It was a nice 55 degree day and a nice misty rain in Vancouver WA. and a buddy and I put 100 miles on. Wat a day it was. Spring is in the air. I cant wait for the days of Summer. Anyone else in the area go out for a ride on Saturday?

I used to live in Mukilteo. And, man, do I miss the riding around Washington, especially this time of year.

Hell yeah, went around North Portland woods roads and the Sauvie Island loop, got caught in a couple little rain pockets but nothin' too bad, just some grime to rinse off later. It was really nice though, great scenery too.

You either ride in non ideal weather in the NW, or you do not ride much. I too am looking to spring and summer this year.

Friday me and three other guys took off from Westport and headed into Olympia and Cabella's. Good day and a fun ride. Great riding weather!

Got in 80+ miles of back roads in East Snohomish Co. First break in miles on the new big bore so can't open it up much yet. More sun today so time to ride.

My aunt and uncle live up there and are always telling me I've got to come up again for a visit because they have great weather for three months out of the year. Gonna plan a trip back maybe next summer. So if you love it for three months what do you do with the other nine?

Too many chores to do yesterday, but I did stretch a one mile trip to get gas into 10 miles instead - after dark. Heading out for some Sno County backroads now. Nice lazy Sunday. (o:
And DonnyLee you're right - if you wait for good weather up here, you may as well skip it. Hey Reefrider - nice to see you.

I'm glad you had a good ride but "55 degrees and misty rain" We had sunny and 80 degrees here.
