I am in for 1-3-4-not 2 at this time of year..too much sand on I-90 and truckers just off their disorganized strike over fuel prices..Lets stay on this side of mountains!!Highway 410 usually opens on memorial day weekend ..rarely before so perhaps 3 or 4 will be doable...But I am willing to go with the flow!!!What does everyone else think??Triumph of Tacoma says the suspension seminar will be of value to all bikes..cruisers included!!Still undecided about that plan for thursday evening


Hmmm...Bob makes a good point about the truckers and sand. Karen and I had this idea of heading out to the outlets in North Bend yesterday....bad bad bad idea. We got about 10 miles and had to turn back due to snow and horrible weather.

The workshop at Tacoma sounds like a good idea. I really wish Karen and I could make that. You guys will just have to share your learning next time.

I kind of like Option 3. That will get Karen and me back in time to get to our appointment and it is some great riding up that way.

If you want an idea for the Kitsap loop....here’s what I have in my arsenal:
* cross into Kitsap at Bremerton via ferry out of Seattle.
* Bremerton then south via 3 south to 106 south to 101 north all along Hood Canal.
* Options here...
1) head north on 101 to Port Townsend then south on 19 to 104 to 305...
2) head north on 101 towards Port Townsend then cut east on 104 to 305...
***both options have more options...we can cross back to Edmonds from Kingston or go south to Bainbridge and cross back into Seattle.
The above takes out around the outside edge of Hood Canal and either way we have to cross the bridge.

We can also go to the inside edge of Hood Canal. Looks like some great riding but I’ve never done it so I would be hesitant to take a group out onto some of those great twisty looking back roads…those roads look great though. We can still do this bust stay on some of the better known roads.

Again...my vote is for Option 3.
