I was *supposed* to be heading down to California starting today, on a five day trip to Chester, CA with a group of fellow sport-touring riders. Personal commitments caused me to have to cancel that and I figured the weekend was a complete wash. Then my local riding buddy Jim started talking about a short trip out to the coast. Hmm, I have to be here Sunday and Monday, but Friday and Saturday are free!

So we’re heading out to Sequim this afternoon to spend the night at his dad’s place.  Then we’ll ride out to Neah Bay tomorrow, visit Hurricane Ridge and overnight at Lake Crescent Lodge. The weather is a little spotty but I think we’ll have a good time.  A little light rain isn’t an issue as long as it doesn’t pour down all day!

Because this was kind of a last minute deal, I’m rushing around today getting things ready to go. The bike hasn’t really been touched since I got back from my last trip, my bags are in disarray.  I’m having to switch all my gear over to the cold/wet weather configuration which means trying to match up liners with the right jacket and overpants, dig out my glove liners, find my rain shell… woof… lots of work to get ready!

The rest of you have a good weekend, I’ll have photos and video when I return!
