Lots more riders than when the sun isn't around. I ride shade or sun as long as it isn't pouring. I have been caught in the down pours a few times, even hail.. NO thank you on that.
This a.m. I rode home with some nice bright sunshine on my shoulders as well as in my eyes at times.
Welcome back Dane.. Have you thought of moving back?
I do hope your visit was a pleasant one and your trip home is pleasant as well.. Come back and bring the bike, we could have a meet up and ride with some of the others in the area..

Yes, I think about moving back all the time!! I must admit that I have become accustomed to the lane sharing they allow in California. There are day where Van Buren, a two lane arterial in each direction separated by landscaped median, is so jammed with traffic that it will be stopped for 3 - 4 traffic lights (each about a mile apart). I can just drive down the middle in 1st and pass it all.
The handlebars are about the same width as my shoulders so if there is space enough for me to walk through then I can nudge the bike through. Most people are cool with it and some even edge their cars over when a cyclist comes through. I've even had people move over when I wasn't even planning to lane share but didn't want to be rude so I went.
Visit was great, my 7 year old daughter's first plane trip and first time seeing snow, courtesy of Mt. Baker. I would like to see if I could get the bike on Amtak but not for a year or two.
