Great Ride Today!

The weather here on the Upper Left Coast has been just spectacular, and I decided it was too good not to go for a ride!
The first 27 miles or so, from Birch Bay to Lynden and then on to Sumas (fire up Google Maps, boys and girls) were boring, straight as an arrow and absolutely flat. But from Sumas on, it the riding got really good! Twisties on hills for miles and miles between Sumas and Maple Falls and Glacier on the Mount Baker Highway, where I turned around and headed for home! In Glacier, I was only about 20 miles from the end of the Mount Baker Highway at the ski area! Next time I may press on and go all the way to the top!
Ride was exactly 100 miles, took just about three hours, so pretty low average speed. Fuel economy overall was 68 miles per gallon, about the best the Forza has turned in for me! All in all, a VERY good day on the scoot!
