Random bike pics from the weekend.....went on a metric century today; an organized ride called the Tour de Peaks. Despite the name, there was no climbing to speak of, and you really couldn't see the peaks because it was foggy/cloudy/and a little rainy. With the lack of climbing and cool temps, it was about the easiest 66 miles I've ever done. I'm nursing a sprained ankle right now, so it was perfect.
I did get this nice shot of the waterfall at Snoqualmie Falls, Wa.:

Some of our local peaks are hiding behind this fog:

Curiously, this float showing one of the local mountains (I think this is Mt. Si) was just sitting in the middle of nowhere along the highway...

Last night, the FSA GrandPrix -- professional track racing -- came to town (Marymoor Velodrome, Redmond, Wa.). Got a few pics before it got too dark:

One of the highlights was Keirin racing, paced behind a motorcycle as in Japan:

Now the faffing. This has no biking relevance, but since some of you like dogs I thought I'd show you the shot I got of a Viringo recently in Peru...this rare, hairless breed often wins "world's ugliest dog" competitions. There is no reason to include this, but I'm still wading through vacation pics and I admire this pup's Mohawk.
