ESSB Snohomish-Skagit Backroads

ESSB ride hosted by Dennis, with Caroline and Will.G.  Cathcart out to Granite Falls, then up to Arlington, Hwy 9 up to the combos north of Lake McMurray.  Dennis took us out west of I-5 and showed us a few interesting stashes of typical farm-market roads.  Scouted the backroads to Flowing Lake.  Ran up and down W.end Meadow Lake road a couple times.  325 mi.  

First commute --

First ride of 2012:  ODO 20720 miles

Scouting trip North of Monroe

Found it!  That sweet, long combo is at the west end of Meadow Lake Road and constitutes one of the longest, best-paved section of true, hang-off-the-seat twisties within 50m of Seattle. Just need to formulate a coherent route that incorporates it. 77m total. SummerFest at Delta Rehab was awesomely executed. Those folks ROCK!

Here's a 70 mile suggestion...

Cathcart/Sky valley

ESSB 'Usual Suspects' ride with Glen.  Two 6th Gen VFRs!!!  

Thermostat stuck open

Oil change, coolant redone, ODO 19700 miles

Take a hike, La Nina. Por Favor!!!

First ride of 2011: Starting Odometer: 19.6k,  hit all The Usual Suspects.

Seahawks losing... Might as well change the tire

ODO:  19.4k, New skin on the front, just need some dry weather.
