Whidbey Island (2024-04-01)

After finally convincing wife to ride with me again after years of my riding solo, we did a similar ride to my trip up Whidbey Island last time, differing mainly by having a stop in Langley and at West Beach. The weather was touch and go, but the showers didn't dampen my enthusiasm at all. I'm sure she also appreciated the heated jacket.

Kitsap Loop (2023-03-25)

My wife wasn't feeling up for a motorcycle ride together, so I did a solo ride by memory up the Kitsap Peninsula.

Moses Lake (2023-03-18)

I really wanted to head over to Eastern Washington after being "trapped" by the snow in the mountains for so long. After dealing with freezing temperatures, I was treated to the beautiful Yakima River Valley, followed by the flatlands of Eastern Washington that I've come to enjoy. I also had a nice time enjoying the small-town downtown of Moses Lake itself.

Whidbey Island (2023-03-11)

Since I didn't want to deal with snow, ice, and cold, I decided to stay near the water and head up Whidbey Island. This gave me the chance to get the photos at West Point that my wife and I didn't have the time to get at our wedding. I also made a quick stop at Kayak Point on the way back.

Mineral II (2023-02-11)

After the small disaster last time, I had to try to go to Mineral again. This time, thankfully, the roads were all clear and the weather was beautiful!

Slushy Road to Mineral (2023-01-22)

I wanted to finally check out the town of Mineral in Lewis County, and the roads seemed fine everywhere, but they ended up getting snowier the further up in elevation I went. By the time I hit the last road to get to the town, it was covered in slush and I went down maybe 100 feet after turning onto said road. Mineral will have to wait until the weather warms up a bit.

Even though the conditions weren't quite perfect for a long ride, I felt like I'd become rusty at motorcycle riding and really wanted to get into it. My rustiness really showed at the beginning of the ride, but I gradually felt into my usual groove.
