26 miles. While i was prepping my wall to paint, DH called me; "want to meet me downtown at 11:30?"
"(sigh) I'm getting ready to paint."
"well the sun's out! It will be fun"
"we'll see"
And I went. 38 degrees with dark clouds in the south.
rode downtown, hands too cold most of the way; struggling with my little Ibex hat, it barely covers my ears. and my ears were cold too.
Met Raleighdon downtown; and then we rode to West Seattle. These are industrial roads, and on Saturday they are very empty. We took the low bridge to West Seattle, and then we rode to Alki point, where we saw a few brave walkers, runners, skaters and a bike or two. We had lunch there and then rode home, another 10 miles or so.
It started to rain when we got out of the restaurant, but it wasn't too bad.
(It made me speed up!!)
the photo is Raleighdon just emerging from the West Seattle bridge.
26 miles, almost all flat (except returning to our home hill)
