A relaxing mid-morning ride.
Saturday the 16th started off just like any other Saturday before. I woke up after sleeping in, made coffee, and sat down for my morning ritual of checking email, browsing the forums at pnwriders.com and advrider.com and checking the local news and weather.
A quick glance at the weather report showed that the day would be rather dry in the morning hours through the early afternoon, with increasing rain into the later part of the afternoon on into the evening. So with this information, I jumped on onto Google Maps, and started to plan a short ride for the day.
There are a few places around the area I want to visit, but with the day’s outlook, I wasn’t really looking forward to a repeat of New Years Day. I don’t mind riding in the rain, I do it on what seems like a daily occurrence here in the Puget Sound Region with my daily commute to work, however I do not enjoy spending hours in it while being soaked to the bone, with the sensation of my mind going numb.
