After Ride Relaxation

CtS2004: Rob Fulwell washing Winnie Powers' bike, with plenty of supervisors

The scene at the farm as we gather for the traditional after ride meal, hosted by John and Chris. And in the background, some of the storm clouds which dumped rain around the area. I don't recall being under any, but I do recall the road into Colfax being covered in mud, and the "interesting" moments it caused some riders.

And Winnie's bike was getting a nice clean from Rob - it was a long standing offer, I believe. I wasn't offered the same service :-(

CtS2004: Scene around Thompson's Farm

Quite a turnout of bikes at the farm. It looks as though it was about time to eat, judging by the folks around the front of the house.

Nothing quite like an after dinner cigar in the "smokers lounge"!

CtS2004: Abating storms after CtS rides, as seen from Thompson's Farm

Ah, the Palouse in June, with green fields, mostly wheat, and rolling hills which are such a pretty sight. And add the dissipating storm clouds to the mix to make one think of country living.

Looking north east from the farm at the end of the storm over Colfax.

After a fine dinner, and much telling of lies, it was time to head back to the motel in Pullman. Whereupon, as no more riding was involved, and there's a garage selling beer across the street, more drinking ensued as discussions and mirth continued for a few more hours.

Overall, a fine day of riding in the Palouse.
