There is no better time to ride along the Skagit River than Autumn.
The fall colors are at their best giving us "out of this world" scenery.
|
The route selected this week by members is Sedro Woolley to Concrete.
Roads between the two towns are flat to rolling, and sparsely traveled.
|
There is almost nowhere along the way that is out of sight of the river
and the surrounding Mountain Ranges frame most every view.
|
As well as meeting a few other adventurers along the way, we ran
into quite a few Elk coming down from the hills for winter feeding.
|
The entire route is pretty much flat with the exception of one climb
just as you enter Concrete past the Challenger Ridge Winery.
|
In Concrete we made a beeline for Anne's Pizza, a biker favorite,
which is next to Perks Deli with the best Cinnimin Rolls in the area.
|
After lunch, we crossed over the river and returned on the Skagit Hwy
which weaves along the river banks past rural farms.
|
Many spots along the way the forests come down from the mountains,
all the way to the river hiding Sedro Woolley till the very end.
|
Within the last mile the Sedro Woolley bridge appears on the right.
Within minutes we are back, thinking of where to bike next week.
