June 11th rides...

I know all about those days and days of rain too - was SO excited to finally be able to get outside that I ended up doing my longest ride yet - 43 miles of perfect weather. Finally!

Hirakukibou - I think we must be virtually neighbors!

I dunno if it counts as a ride, but I did 4 1/2 miles in 4 hours today! That's MORE than 1 mph!

It was a bike skills class where we did fun stuff like ride in the grass and bump elbows and play "monkey in the middle" and ride linked hand-to-shoulder with a buddy and I got to fall off my bike. The wrong way. Landed on one outstretched and locked arm and both knees. No rolling! Gotta go take an okey dokey akaido class...

While we were out playing in the street we saw a slew of Team Group Health riders go by, and both our coaches shouted "that's our team!". Sorry, GH, we stole two of your teammates for the day...

We also got to see a motorboat catch fire on Lake Washington. One of our riders called the police who came whipping up in one of their VERY fast rescue boats and took care of the situation. Before the police arrived the passengers were all crowded up in the bow while the stern was making like a BBQ. I was waiting for them to get off the boat and swim to shore (100 yds or so). I'd be afraid the gas tank would rupture and make things much worse.

Might go for a ride tonight.

well, after yesterday (and having to go back to San Bernardino to pick up my stuff). I'm taking it easy. Will probably go for a hike with the Sierra club tonight

Got up at 4:30 to get ready for the club century. I met my BF at his place and off we went. We arrived in plenty of time but shortly after our arrival it began to rain, albeit lightly. We decided to head home for neither of us was in mood to get wet or to be cold (it was gray, gloomy and in the mid-60s). The rest of group took off and I understand the got wet a couple of times today. I'm glad we opted to reverse our decision. So no miles today just a relaxing day. A long nap and lots of play time with my cats, kittens and dogs. Tomorrow the sunshine is suppose to return as well as warmer temps so I plan on getting in 40 or so miles.

NICE day in Puget Sound today. We got back from Wales Friday night (will try to post a few pics of our tandem ride on the Isle of Anglesey there, when they are developed, and tell you a bit about it--Wales is gorgeous); tried to recover from jet lag yesterday, and did the standard 60 mile round-Lake-Washington ride today (because the Seattle to Portland ride is only a month off...). The ride started out grey and cool and ended up high 60s, sunny, breezy, and delightful. We are now officially comatose for the evening, but pretty happy.

My ride today. As you can see, I was working on my short-sleeve-jersey-tan-line issue:



(OK, so I'm not riding at this point, but you get the idea.)

I see a lot more mountain biking in my future now that I've had the chance to sample the goods in Park City.

La-la-la! Can't hear you!

Sk whose always wanted to try out the dirt in Park City

And, what's with the helment? It's straight.
