June 20th Rides

[mimitabby]

and now for a change of view, a Raleighdon and Mimi
city ride.
we started off at about 9am with me fussing about what to wear, was it going to cloud up and be cold and rainy? for once i trusted the weather report and left the raincoat behind. but since Raleighdon brought his panniers, i stuck some shoes in the bag. We took the most zig-zagging route you could imagine from our house to downtown. Raleighdon has ridden every street up and down and knows all sorts of routes...
After conducting a little business in Municipal Court Raleighdon and I went to the Seattle Art Museum where they have a special exhibit of French Impressionism. We ate lunch at the Museum too, excellent food really.
Then we rode on to our favorite bike shop, Elliott Bay Bikes, where the did a couple gentle adjustments on RD's bike.
Next stop was the new Sculpture park. it wasn't that exciting, no big deal. we rode a bit more along the waterfront and then turned around and took a sinuous way home. instead of our normal route home, my DH took us up some of the tougher hills so he could get 1200 feet of climb in our 25 mile ride...
