| Highway wander North to Sumas Date 01/13/08 |
| Wow with all this crappy weather for the last 3 months may be all last year. Out of the blue comes this sunny warm day? Just something quick. We throw out a meet notice for the on the PNW Road Riders Yahoo site. 10pm at the I5 North bound rest point. This is a frequently used spot. Just out side of the metro area with many nice rides north. Roland, Dan and myself meet at the rest stop. Bill came by on his way to his sons basketball tournament. Thanks Bill. He had promised us a nice day the prior night because he knew he would not be able to ride. We were a little surprised that no one else showed up. This was the first nice day we have seen in months? From this location it is around 75 miles to Sumas and Bob's Burgers. But we wound North over all the back and side roads. With a short stop a Scooter Stuff. This made is around 140 miles. For full route details check out the Ride Page. After a nice lunch at Bob's in Sumas we returned via the full Hwy 9 route. Around 240 miles all together. This was my first ride over 200 miles on the new ST 1300. I seem to be getting used to it and the new riding position. My right knee is a little sore but other wise pretty good. It is a definite change from the VTX cruiser position. But man does it feel good in the corners. Made it around 225 miles before my rear started to get sore. So I guess I will be looking at seat options soon. The Video shows Mosquito Lake Rd but it is a couple years old. |
