I'm sure I'd enjoy that. One of my sons, who lives in Florida and is a classical musician (and cyclist) plays in a summer orchestra in Bellingham most summers. This past summer he had his bike shipped up with him and spent several weeks riding in the mountains up in your part of the country. He says the reason he takes that summer gig is that he enjoys spending time in Washington. It's a beautiful part of the country.
