5/23 Rides!

[Biciclista]

ah, the nicest weather we've had all year. High 60's sun shine, slight wind.
68 miles on the tandem with 3700 feet of climb

we went from Seattle to Tacoma then east to kent and home.
The furthest south west point was Brown's point, with a gorgeous view of the Sound, tacoma AND Mt Rainier.

Babyblue- great picture. I've never been to Skiatook Lake, but need to go some time.
I did the "Tour de Meers" and got in 35 before the lightning and thunderstorms rolled in. Training ride for Freewheel. I'm SO not ready for that ride, but I guess after a couple days on the road I'll have no choice.
I'll ride 40-50 tomorrow and again on Monday to do some long back to back days.
Averaged 12.3 on my Bike Friday. The gearing is so low I can't get in a big enough gear for the flats and tailwinds. Oh well, it forces me to slow down and stop and smell the roses (which was the whole point of getting a BF anyway- to slow down and enjoy the ride). It's good for this former racer to learn to slow down and enjoy every minute instead of just worrying about throwing down the miles.
