Default Good weather in the Pacific NW!!!

Been getting some good miles on the bike this last week. Looks like a good week in the 70'sF for next week too! Went for a nice cruise with my new son-in-law today up the Columbia River gorge between Washington and Oregon state.

Hope all are having the weather to ride and keeping the shiny side up!

Looks like you had a great ride.
I have been fighting a bad cold for the last week and a half.
We gotta get together and make the Gorge ride sometime.

How beautiful was it this morning, absolutely blue sky, half moon hanging right there like you could reach up and grab it. Totally loving this weather. (Close to 80 riding home last night wasn't too bad either.)

Nice today, in the 60's. High 60's tomorrow and then may hit 70's.

Just a dusting of snow this year. Seems like we just don't get the snow or ice storms like we did in the past. Still get our share of rain but it seems like we are getting more days of hot weather.
Maybe the up side of global warming ?

I've gone sailing instead of riding this Saturday and last. Who knew 5mph could be so much fun!

Do I get some credit though for riding my bike to the marina today?

I've always enjoyed anytime spent in the PNW...some of the best country around.

C'mon down to Utah Tony!

You can show me around this place.
