Great beer. Visited the brewery this last weekend in Spokane, great bar. Getting away from beer reviews but its good no less.
Schooner Exact Brewing Co.
Great spot in SODO, beer and Kale salad. Put it on the list, for sure.
Frozen Port of Everett
Westland Distilling
We took a trip out to SODO in Seattle to visit Westland Distilling, it did not disappoint. What a great space and great people. Check it out if your in the area, one of the best craft distilleries we have seen.
Charlie Brown Christmas
Ashley’s first real Christmas tree. We got a permit from the national forest to cut it down after hours of searching for the “perfect” one.
Last trip out Mt. Loop for the Season
Bit of a cold ride but worth it. Headed back out that way in the morning to cut Ashley’s first real tree.
Weekend Update
Quick update on this past weekend.
Shot out the window at work, its going to shape up to be a great weekend weather wise.
Saturday night Ashley and I went to see the Band of Heathens at the Crocodile in Bell Town but not before hitting up the Capitol Hill land mark Dick’s Drive-In for cheap dinner.
On to the show, we had nosebleed seats.
Sunday morning uncle Bob and I rode to Hurricane ridge, note that it is the last weekend in November in the northwest is still ridable. Thats it for this weekend, looking forward to a long weekend full of eating next weekend.
Weekend ride to Port Townsend and Deception Pass
The weekend started with a short ride to Mukilteo after work on Friday to catch this cool sunset.
Saturday Morning we started with doughnuts at a local favorite Karls Bakery here in Everett before we headed north through the Tulalip reservation. We stopped for lunch in LaConnor and ate at the brewery, would pass it up in the future and hit up Calico Cupboard Cafe, it smelled great. We left out of there and continued north to Deception Pass State Park.
After the quick photo op on the bridge we pressed south down Whidby Island. Almost timing it perfectly we hit some light ran about 2mi from the ferry. Another successful 185mi on BigBoi.
Sunday Morning we got up and headed to Ballard for breakfast at Portage Bay Cafe. AMAZING. I would pass on the smoked salmon hash do to the abundance of carrots, weird to me for breakfast, and get the baked French Toast.
After we ate we strolled over to the locks where they were cleaning, pretty cool sight.
Short clip on the ride into Port Townsend from the Kingston Ferry. Riding past Port Gamble, Port Ludlow and ending in Port Townsend. On the way back we stopped and toured and tasted fresh farm cider at Finn River Farm. Great Veterans day ride. Still working on a good video set up for a long trip down the coast this summer, any tips for bike mounts/techniques are appreciated. Thanks

Ride around the North Cascade Loop
Gassing up Big Boi before the 400mi trip around the loop. Breakfast at Sultan Bakery was great, too much food but good. After stuffing ourselves and gassing up we pressed though the fog over Stevens Pass and over to Leavenworth where it was apparently Oktoberfest.
Big Boi and his groupies that flock.
Eating up some miles to Chelan, WA.
Chelan for a quick lunch and then on to Winthrop.
Ross Lake
Ashley seems to be freezing, it did drop to high 30s near the top.
