Contrasts

07-06-2004, 09:01 AM

Over in rec.bicycles.rides I posted a trip report for my recent ride
from Blue Diamond out to Red Rocks in the Las Vegas area.

This morning, I rode to work in a light rain that turned to a heavy
mist as I got closer to the Sound. You know, I love the Pacific
Northwest.

Warm Regards,

I rode up the Left Coast one summer, and spent five days in Washington
in a near-continual downpour. One day I had to stop because it was
raining so hard I couldn't see. By the time I reached Port Angeles, my
chain was rusted.

Yes, the Pacific Northwest is a lovely place, but sometimes it can be a
bit too wet for my liking.

On Friday, I was riding from work to a barbecue/picnic, up at Golden Gardens
State Park. It was 55 degrees and lightly raining. I bought a 7 pound salmon
at the Pike Place Market, and had strapped it on to my rack, along with the
marinade, with a bungee cord. As I rode through Myrtle Edwards Park, right
along the waterfront, I felt very Northwest-y: rain, cool day in mid-July,
water lapping against the shore, ships are moving in and out of the harbor,
big salmon strapped on the back of the bike, headed for a picnic that no one
would think of canceling just because of a little precipitation.
