Deception Pass loop



I went riding today, with Adam, Hilary, Divide, and Gary. MJ took my pillion seat. We met up early in the afternoon, cruised up I-5 and over to the Mukilteo ferry, then rode the length of Whidbey Island. The day started out overcast, but cleared as we rode; by the time we rolled down the windy little road to the north beach at Deception Pass State Park, it was a bright, blue, beautiful day. We skipped rocks and watched the boats cruise back and forth… then continued the loop across to Mount Vernon and straight home down I-5. Even factoring in a few minor technical problems, a seagull attack, and a massive traffic jam, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day.
