Kuzi, you need to cross the border earlier in the morning...or get a Nexus pass. But remember, to use the Nexus lane, ALL occupants must have the pass.
I took a group up through Highway 9 last year and have done solo runs on a few early weekend mornings. Problem seems to be getting enough people out early (8am or so). Developing a few modified routes in that area would be something to look into.
My own feeling about highway 9 is that it isn't worth getting onto until Arlington anyway because of the stop lights and congestion through Clearview, Snohomish and Lake Stevens. I avoid that area like the plague. In between my efforts on the garage I will see about making a run up north after I have plotted a tentative route. If we had started our run an hour or so earlier on Saturday traffic would have been somewhat lighter. As it was, not bad. I have no problem with the early part. I am up at 4:20 a.m. every day so hitting the road from my end at 7 or 8 would be no problem. Missed you on the last one Willis! DJ
Yup, It's pretty boring until Arlington. On the way up, I usually take the twisty backroads on the Eastside then connect up to Highway 9. The straight sections on Highway 9 breakup the action a bit (chance to check the gauges, stop for gas, etc.) before the nice, scenic sections up there.
Yeah, sure,............. Kuzi the farmer! BBBAAAAAAAWWWWHHHAAAAHHHAAAAAAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...............................
Kuzi, I missed your new "buddy" perhaps next time take her again to my driveway to have another bikini shot?? Summer is coming up, perhaps this time with the background of my silver spider??
