  • NW Season closer (2nd-3rd Wk September)

    I am getting the itch to get in one more road trip before the good weather goes away. I am thinking the 2nd or 3rd week of September.

    Anybody interested in making it NW XS/XJ event? Or have another route in mind, or just want to meet some where a couple of hundred miles from Olympia. I would prefer mid-week, but weekends are OK too.

    A possible short route (from Olympia):

    North on US101, east on Hwy20, south on US97, southwest on Hwy 970, west on I90, south on Hwy18, south on Hwy 169, west on Hwy 410, south/west on Hwy 512, south/west on I5, west on US101.

    577.4 miles. If is where not for the ferry ride at Port Townsend, it could be a one day ride. I am thinking of taking it easy and making it a leisurely two day ride around the Sound and Cascades.

    Longer version.

    Stay on Hwy20 to US395. Then either south to Spokane or east on 2. Come back through south central Washington or the Gourge.

    Otherwise, I will hit the road solo and see where I end up!

    No matter how it works out, riding is my objective.

    Not sure yet whether I can get away then, but if I can, what I could do would be to meet up with you somewhere on 20, like at the junction of 20 and 9, ride the N. Cascades and then 97 with you, and peel off at 2 to come back home via Stevens Pass, that would be 415 miles for me.

      We're interested!

      Hey Denny,

      Jeff and I are thinking the the same thing and were looking at heading through north/central Oregon (Maupin, Fossil, Spray, John Day) out towards Baker and then north into Washington to something like Grand Coulee/Mt. Rainer or somewhere. Maybe we could come up with something that would work for everyone. I can at least say for sure that we are planning to go somewhere in the month of Sept., so lets keep in touch.

        That's the spirit!

        Perhaps we could designate some meeting places(cities, pubs, etc...) and times, then see who shows up. Just a thought:
