My dilemma for the day.
Was packing up for my ride today, and just realized I left my cellphone at work yesterday. I'm headed out of town tomorrow morning, so I need to get it. Also need to get a bike ride in today.
Do I: - Ride straight to work, get phone, return to do chores? 20 mile round trip. - Take the ride I was planning to take, detour into downtown Seattle, snag the phone, and come back home? 45 mile round trip. Weather: light mist, clearing soon, 40 degrees. Teenaged kids: still asleep Either way, as I leave the house, I'm shouting, "off to get my phone, see ya' soon.." |

So, of course, I went for the "long" option...I get to the office, and my cellphone isn't there. So, instead of leisurely lunch downtown at Pike Market, I pedal furiously back home, and find my cellphone in a jacket pocket. Anyway, beautiful ride...a little wet when I started, now it's warming up. I need to run an errand on my bike a little later, so all in the day will be about 43 miles of riding.
Some pics of a rare, dry winter day in Seattle... this is the road out of my neighborhood... http://i30.tinypic.com/f1gk2c.jpg along the shore of Lake Washington... http://i30.tinypic.com/9td06a.jpg newborn Boeing 737's at the factory in Renton, waiting to be painted... http://i27.tinypic.com/i737tu.jpg happy bike...that's Interstate 90 floating bridge in the back; the bikelane is on the left hand side of the road. It's an important part of the Seattle biking infrastructure; the shortest way from the Eastside to downtown Seattle. It's always the coldest part of my commute home from downtown Seattle...this week I went across it 6 times -- 4 dry, 2 in the rain. http://i31.tinypic.com/2sboe2w.jpg |
Well, at least you got a ride in.
I am home sick with absolutely 0 energy. It got up to 55F, and here I am inside. I did get a 1 mile walk in, after which I was exhausted. Snow tonight and tomorrow. Great pictures. Count yourself lucky. |
