...or... ignore the stupid weathermen. 50% chance of rain, meant 50% chance of dry.
Headed north on 9 - the day stated out with good portents- a Kaiser helmet-wearing Harley dude gave me a head pat, 1/2 mile before 2 state troopers. Then, I saw an Aerial Atom. No shit. I waved at the driver and passenger - after all, they were wearing helmets.
Took off east on Old Day Creek Road, just south of Sedro-Wooley - connected to the South Skagit Highway, then up to Concrete for lunch. Met Harry, a retired architect, at the deli parking lot - he rode in from B-ham on his Honda Elite 250. He recently off-loaded his 70's BMW R60, and is in the market for a ST bike. So we sat and chatted bikes and northwest living over sandwiches, then headed our separate ways.
headed south on the Concrete-Swauk Valley road -
north end:
Geology Geek picture - Glaciers and lakes and floods, oh my!
Washington, where we cut down really big trees...
...and dedicate them to dead people...
A bit of the road - combo of sweepers and tight corners on a narrow, clean 2-lane.
South end of the road...
Had so much fun on it, turned around and rode it 2x more...
Headed south to Darrington, then back up and down 9 to catch other random side roads.
Oh yeah, and the Corner of Doom (tm)...
50%. Whatever.
Route map - tear page 95-96 out of the Washington Gazateer and flip it over occasionally.
