Puget Sound, sound off!

I might do the Oyster Run but it's about a week before I'm planning on moving, so we will see. Already starting to become fall out there, summers are way too short out here.
Here's a good map, scroll down a little bit to it. It will show where some good roads are. Most the ones I know are more north than where you are, but I agree with the ones posted on it that I know. Bit late in the dry season I suppose, but should still be a few decent weekends left before ridding becomes putzing in the rain, lol.

I was just wondering because I'm not really familiar with the PNW, and honestly I'm just getting back on a bike after years so I don't really know any good rides. I'd love to hook up with a few people that would like just a day ride or even a few hours that I can keep up with.

Leavenworth runs are great. I live in the south sound and run hwy 18 up to Snoqualmie then 203 to monroe, hwy 2 to leavenworth for schnitzel and beer. (Andreas Keller has the best schnitzel in town) then east out of town to 97 south to Cle Elum jump on 90 then 18 home.
3 mountain passes and just a beautiful run.

If you really want a Beautiful ride take hwy 9 N to Arlington then 530 E to Darrington, from Darrington head N to hwy 20 and head E. Enjoy Diablo Lake and Winthrop. From Winthrop Go south through the Methow Valley to Wenatchee. From there you can go to Leavenworth or down to Cle Elum depending on whether you want to take Hwy 2 or I-90 back west.

Howdy all my PNW brothers (and sisters)! I'm always up for a ride.
Also I have two specific tools that I paid a lot for that I'd be happy to lend out to any of my local friends here. One is for getting the races out for your steering bearings (if you've done this job you know what a bear it is to get them out!), and the other is the spring tensioner tool for changing your clutch. PM me if you wanna meet up and I'm happy to lend them out.
Cheers,
Nick
