Kevin forwarded to me this Event on Facebook that someone created for PNW dual-sport riders. The plan: Edmonds, WA to Lake Quinault on mostly dirt roads. Day 1, take the Edmonds-Kingston ferry, ride to Sequim and meet up with Olympic Peninsula riders, ride to Lake Cushman where a rider had generously offered up his property on the north end of the lake for everyone to camp on for the night. Day 2 would be riding to Lake Quinault and then slabbing (term used for riding the asphalt roads and highways for speed and covering distance) back home.
It seemed like a great plan and an interesting opportunity to meet and ride with others. However, unlike the bigger ADV and dual-sport bikes, ours are not great for slabbing it, so although we planned to go, we decided to only go for Day 1 and then work our way home at a slower pace. Day 1 was pretty great with the ferry ride, meeting others and dirt riding on the peninsula. The weather was great, but the day was getting long so we decided to break from the rest of the group a little early. We made camp at Dosewallips State Park on Hood Canal. What do we do? Oh yeah, we have fun!
