 Thursday's group
There is some good news, she said: they plan to keep their home in Spokane, so we should see her often – and perhaps Nanci on weekends. But even that news was tempered a bit by the fact that she’s now feeling a little too far along (she’s expecting early this fall) to ride much. Life at the Seyhanli’s must never be dull. Heartfelt congrats of course, to them both.
Rick led the group on a fairly familiar loop with a new twist – following Spotted Road to Melville to Four Lakes, the group took a turn across the causeway between two of the many lakes in the area; the rock outcrops and small islands in view, all lit by the low afternoon sun, were truly spectacular. Rick’s route continued around Silver Lake, then back home via Melville, Spotted Road south, to Cheney-Marshall.
Back at the Baby Bar, the group enjoyed beer, nachos and tunes until 8:30 or so, then called it quits. Gotta love long June days!
For the record, Frank Lloyd Wright was born on the day of our ride, June 8th. Here’s a guy who once envisioned an American landscape made so accessible by personal transportation that small towns would make large cities obsolete. At the time, his vision seemed a bit incredible – especially since it included flying cars – but for better or worse, a lot of Wright’s predictions have come true. Vespas may not fly, but for getting out into some of our most scenic areas, they come close enough.  |
