Good old Raleighdon is doing a car free week, so i agreed to go along with him today on our bikes. the temp was near 50 when we started at about noon, and we rode the 20 odd miles to the Sammamish bike shop where D bought his lightbulbs and i got my brakes adjusted. while we were there we ran into a friend who informed us that the club meeting we were on our way to was TOMORROW not today. ooops.
So instead of going to Tony Roma's we opted for U district where my son lives. We met him at his favorite restaurant and had dinner. By then I was really tired, having ridden over 40 miles. We rode UP a hill to get to a bus stop, and took a bus home. well, almost home, we still had to climb up the hill, with the 12-14% grade whatever, it was dark... and i had to go to the bathroom. That hill was tougher than it's ever been; i was tired and cold. But here I am about to jump into a hot bath...
47 miles!
