January 22 ride!
Ha! Finally got back on the bike after another two weeks off. Hurray! Rode 27 miles on a windy day. Luckily, headwind on the way out, and a LITTLE tailwind on the way back. Stopped to loan my pump to a guy doing a test ride on a $5200 Cervelo from Sammammish Cycles. You'd think for that price they'd come with better air, too--leakproof air. Anyway, other than the wind, a nice grey day in the 40s. Lots of winter birds on the river---cormorants, mergansers, bufflehead ducks. Hawks in the trees. Was VERY happy to be out!
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
