Washington State
We have been out in Washington for about a month now! As much as I miss real winter, it has been really great to get some miles outside!
The temperature has been consistently 45-55 degrees. I’ve never lived in a place so consistent. The biggest “feels like” differences come from whether or not the sun is out. Regardless, I have worn my Black Bibs tights and thermal jersey on just about every ride and adding either a vest or a rain jacket. I was expecting it to be raining and wet constantly but more of the days have actually been really nice. I’ve only done a couple of rides in real rain and a few addition drizzly days but it hasn’t been bad at all!
All of the mountain biking requires some driving but once you get there it is definitely worth the drive! There is a lot of good road riding right from our apartment. We went on a group ride to Vashon Island (Ethan’s first ferry ride!) and stopped at a delicious bakery! We have found some nice quiet roads and scoped out the good interval roads.
