Riding along the coast to the very northwest tip of the continental US. My Ninja 400 buddy is coming with. I’m pumped, but my body already hurts. Anything cool to look at along the way? I’ve never gone northwest from Olympia.

From Olympia o nce past Hoodsport, there are some really fun bits. The road that leads to marmot pass is fun too. From Hoodsport to kushman is amazing.

I told CoFL that I’d like us to do a 101 wrap around the Olympic peninsula . There are days worth of roads around it.

I feel as though I've properly converted to Southern California because I see "HWY 101" and can't help but think "it's THE 101, dammit!". Should go up to hurricane Ridge since you're in the neighborhood. Both of those spots were original planned destinations on my cross country trip in the miata. If I get around to engine swapping, it will be on the must do list to go there!

Plan a decent amount of breaks for pictures and rest. I know it’s hard to gauge on the bike sometimes but riding with ail ments is no good, no matter body or mind .

I’m jelly I haven’t been able to move up there yet.  Looks like an amazing drive/ride.

Lots of traffic again these days, expect it. I was out on the coast last weekend (visiting family), and it seemed like a normal summer holiday period .

112 west of Port Angeles all the way to Neah Bay is just a super fun road most of the time.  Watch your speed as soon as you hit the Makah indian reservation.

Hmm. It’s been awhile since hurricane ridge. I think I might pose that as a backup plan in case we decide 10 hours of riding on sport bikes in 90° heat sounds a bit... Much lol.

Good to know. I noticed Kirkland has closed down parks again as of today when I rode through downtown...

If you are up to it, drop down just a little further south. There's a amazing beach down there in a park. When I was there 8 - 9 years ago, there was part of a shipwreck on the beach. I bet it's still there.

Is this why 90% of the bikes I find for sale that meet my criteria and are in my price range are in Seattle?

I saw a video the other week of some particularly jerky late teenage looking dorks near the water downtown behaving as if they were invincible .
