New Year's Day Ride 2008

Post up photos of your New Year's Day ride here. Mine won't start before noon PST, but those of you in other time zones are sure to have some photos to share before I get back home tonight.

No one has posted any photos?

I started today's ride with brunch with some guys from the Concours Owners Group (I call them COG-ers). After brunch we rode north on I-5 to the Arlington exit, then rode north on Hwy. 9. I did not see them take a side road north of Big Lake and I continued alone north on Hwy. 9, stopping at one of my favorite photo spots north of Haversham, where I have yet to take a really good photo. I then continued north and gassed up at Deming.

After gassing up, I headed back south the way I came, then headed west on Park Road at Haversham. I ran into the COG-ers at Park just as they were leaving Scooters. So, I turned around and followed them back south on Hwy. 9 as far as Cathcart Road in Snohomish, where I peeled off and headed home.

The sunshine which was forecast was hiding somewhere else. It was cold and overcast all day. There were wind gusts at Sedro Woolly where a strong west wind was blowing unimpeded from east of the Cascades down the valley of the Skagit River.

Although the weather left a lot to be desired, it was not raining and the road surfaces were not too bad. I saw quite a few motorcycles out today including a big pack of Harleys headed toward I-5 from Arlington. I saw many cruisers out today, which should lay to rest the stereotype of the cruiser clan being only fair weather riders. And yes, most of them waved back at me.
