Rides.... May 25th!

Another nice 27 mile ride on the Burke Gilman/Sammamish River Trail today. Didn't get rained on this time, which is nice. But the amount of white fluff I ate is prodigious. Northwesterners, what IS that stuff? Is it from cottonwood trees? I try to think of it as salad.

Good on you for riding in the heat, Denise! I have a hard time with anything over 80 degrees and I woke up kinda late, so today it was treadmill and swimming pool. Tomorrow, stationary bike! I'll be dreaming of cooler climes while I'm on that stationary! I hear it's going to cool down this weekend but I'll be out of town for work.
I love to hear about everyone else's rides, though! And I can't complain because I was riding all over the place in January!

Yeah m-kitch it was a bit warm to say the least. I went and swam for the first time in weeks as well this afternoon. The swim cap was frying my noggin!Once I got in and had the head submerged it was much better tho.
The pool actually felt good. I just wish my hand was working again! That cyclist palsy is really a pain!!
There is a race south of Tucson this weekend- Sauharita- that I'm pondering but I just don't know if I'm up to the drive.. It was a fun race last year. Just a sprint, but very fun.

Just a quick hour of cottonwood fluff inhalation! 76 degrees and no wind made for a nice ride.

Took the car instead of the bike to work yesterday and I DID NOT like it. At all. So today, in spite of rain, I was back on the bike. Left the house in the rain, did my extra "loop" so I get in some miles before work, and arrived nicely wet, but happy, an hour or so later. Then it was back out in the rain to ride to the bank and do the daily deposit. The bank tellers think I am a little loony, to be biking instead of driving, so they really got a chuckle today when I showed up wet. Then it was back to work to clean up and hope the weather improved before the end of the day. It rained on and off all day. But was actually not raining when I rode home. It threatened, but I was lucky enough to beat it. All in all, it was great to be out on the bike, rain or not. I was really pleased I convinced myself to go. I've never melted in rain yet........ hope I don't start now. Still ------- it wasn't storming with lightening and thunder. Just rain. Lightening would make me drive, I know. It scares me!

In Utah it tastes like Jell-O.

(For the uninitiated, that is a Utah joke. OK. Not very funny unless you live in Utah, I guess.)
