1. Drive over to the Tour of Walla Walla Stage Race and get inspired watching the local racers. Volunteer to brew hot beverages for the racers (it sounds like it’s gonna be a PNW version of Stage 4 of the Tour of California.)
2. Sunday: Commiserate with other cyclists and watch the Paris Roubaix at the Summit Public House on Capital Hill.
3. Team up with the skiing buddies and look for soft snow at your favorite backcountry stash.
4. Do a Cascade Club Ride that isn’t cancelled due to showers or steady rain.
5. Sunday: Head to The Dalles and do the Cherry of a Ride,
which includes routes of 30, 48, 60, 80, and 100 miles.
6. Do those bike repairs you’ve been putting off.
7. Frequently check the Doppler radar and fantasize about a weather window that never materializes.
8. If all else fails, brew another cup of coffee.
