A day too splendid to stay in Seattle even after yesterday's 7 mile skate ski. I kept focus, and came home from Columbia City then out again. Breakfast at Ristrettos in Mt Vernon, a bagel sandwich and coffee, the drive over the narrow Skagit River Bridge to the waterfront park, then a ride out through the fallow tulip fields. Mist lingers but pleasant cool riding temperature, with well tested winter riding kit. Glorious views of the cascades all the way north on I-5. The fields are still waterlogged and there's a lot more standing water this year. Mt Baker shines. The route along Padilla Bay through Bayview is a little foggy until the descent into the berry fields. Then knock out views. Traffic very light until north of Hwy 20.
