What a great day for a great ride! We stayed with friends in Lakewood who cooked us a fabulous curry feast last night, then we got up and drove to the island this morning. Got on the road around 8:45, just as the 1st ferry disembarked, so we were stuck in a crowd for a bit before it thinned out. Finished up around 11:30 and had a delicious bowl of chili down by the water at a picnic table in the sun and now we're heading back to Lakewood to change and drive back to Portland.

Looks like the local Kiwanis club is holding a summer, sunny, and warm version of the ride at the end of August. I'll definitely think about coming back up for it!
