Yesterday we had a surprisingly beautiful day. Generally it is raining almost every day in March in Washington state. But we got lucky. So, the ride on Chuckanut Drive was gorgeous.

BTW, yesterday was the first time that I rode with it in race mode. I fell in love with the bike all over again.

Great photos, there's just nothing like riding out to the water and taking in that mini getaway from everything else. Even more so when you're on bike and can at times go to some lengths that cars can't.

What other places do you have in mind to check out in the future?

Are you now permanently in race mode? :wink2:

Definitely.

Except when the roads are wet and/or dirty. I'll put it in wet for these cases. In the Seattle area, especially in the morning after a lot of rain it's definitely wet for awhile afterwards this time of year. And on some of the backroads, gravel, bark, etc are not a great surprise to run into in the middle of curves.

Also, if I get stuck in a bunch of slow stop and go throttle on/throttle off 25 mile and under traffic then I'll switch out of race mode.
