"Bike Friday Headquarters"


Where all the manufacturing and customer support happens. It's right on the Fern Ridge Trail.

"Elevation Profile for Morton to Newaukum River Valley"


The grade plotting is experimental. It isn't perfect, but it's the best I've been able to come up with.

"Davidson (Name TBD)"


I think I'm sold on the whole low-trail thing for my typical kind of riding these days, with a moderate front load. Starting a turn is more intuitive, and I don't feel like I'm going to fall over when banking heavily on a tight turn. However, maintaing a straight line also takes less effort on my part. Pedaling out of the saddle with a lot of weight is easy, too.

Whenever I ride a mid–high trail bike (55-70mm of trail) without a front load, I feel uneasy and that I have to babysit it when going straight, and I avoid taking tight turns because I feel like I'm going to fall over. Adding some load up front takes care of the first problem, but not the second. Pedaling out of the saddle with a lot of weight isn't particularly difficult, but isn't as easy as above.

"Oso Landslide Memorial"


This was the main goal of the ride. I'd been to the location several times before, but this was the first time I saw a full-on memorial park here...I had to duck under the shelters a few times because of some heavy showers passing through.

"Pegasus Coffee"


Where my partner picked up coffee before we headed to the ferry.

"St. Patrick's Day 5k"


My partner ended up crashing because she had to hard stop before entering a crosswalk right before the runners came.

"West Fork Teanaway Road"


We ended up at this spot after missing the place where we were supposed to cross the river, and ended turning back to the supposed crossing.

Looking at my map after the fact, it looks like this is on the far side a decommissioned section of the road.

"Inbound"


Had to use GPXSee to get these due to a bug in Viking.
