Friday I did the "Tulip Ride" in Mt Vernon, north of us about 30 miles. I have always wanted to ride up there at tulip time, but never got to till this year. There weren't all that many tulip fields, but we saw lots and lots of daffodils. It was nice being up there on a weekday, not as many distracted tourists looking at flowers instead of the road in front of them.
It was pouring rain when I left home, and let up just outside of Mt Vernon, and turned out to be a completely gorgeous day. There were only three other riders in the group, so we got to chat and enjoy a relaxed ride. It was about a 35 mile ride.
Saturday, we went out to the rail tail and I did 48.9 miles....so close to my goal, ha. Another gorgeous NW spring day. Seems like it is our turn for the warm weather and back east is getting hit with snow... weird.
