Into Plain

The route led to Plain and Leavenworth for the annual Touratech Rally West. The weekend brought group rides in the Cascade foothills, demo bikes, seminars, and the vendor village that draws riders from across the region.

Same Bikes, Different Ground

Only a month earlier, the same camera pairing had been in Cuba. Here the job was simpler: ride in, meet people, look at machines and equipment, then get out into the foothills with the rest of the field.
