Today's ride, we retraced portions of our previous ride, this time from Anacortes to Oak Harbor. The route included a trip back across Deception Pass Bridge. We had to factors in our favor that made the return trip less stressful. First we were crossing earlier in the day and second were crossing it on a weekday not Saturday as we did previously.
Again most of us arrived as a group and had sometime to take photos. Traveling from the north to the south the view of the bridge is better. As we rounded the bend before the bridge, a ride side turn out gave us some time to take pictures and organize ourselves. In addition Cathy was driving the SUV and would pull out behind us to provide a moving block between us and any traffic behind us.
When the coast was clear, the group moved out on the roadway and smoothly crossed the bridge and we were on our way.
The rest of the ride was uneventful reaching the lunch at 11:30 where Rick and Cathy had set up the tables with all the fixings. It was only about 10 miles to the Motel and I the way, Peter and I stopped for Ice Cream a short distance from the end.
It was getting in a bit early and relax a bit. Tomorrow will be a longer day with a ferry ride.
