This is the first email ride of 2010! Sunday January 11th. The day did not start out as nice as Saturday ended but what the heck, IT WAS NOT RAINING! YET!
We had a pretty good turnout... 8 bikes and 11 people. We decided to ride to Tillamook. This time of the year we are a little limited where we can ride. Alot of the back roads are sanded from previous cold mornings. Staying on the main Hwy seems like the best choice.
Katie ready for the ride!
Definitely some serious BSing going on here!

A scenic stop at the viewpoint. Yes, it looks like all the other pictures from the viewpoint, but is not. It's today's ride which makes it a whole new picture!
Dave with Jim T's back to the camera.. hey Jim turn around!
That's better!

We roll into Tillamook and decide to eat at the Fern Restaurant for lunch.

Alot of seating for large groups here. May make a good future dinner ride spot? Eh Jim?
Lunch is over and heading out....Well, now we head over to the Cheese Factory for Ice Cream.
Well that's the ride. Weather was pretty good most of the day. As we headed for home we took the Miami River Road. Around Nahalem we ran into some sprinkles which turned into steady rain all the way to Warrenton. I changed into my rain gear just in time for it to turn to mist in Astoria and no rain at all by the time I got home.
My bike is filthy but it will give me something today for the next several rainy days...
See you on the next ride, Maybe?
