Mercer Island-Medina-Kirkland-Marymoor: Spoiled

Cougar Climbs: 30k+6k+5K+75k=lots of great times

Earth Day sTroll: Yesterday's enemy is today's friend. Yesterday I battled strong, swirling foothills winds on the bike. Today there was still a foothills wind; not as strong, but just brisk enough to keep us cool in the 76 degree temps and strong sun

LOOK Keo cleat test ride

Mow yard

Union Hill-Ames Lake-Pine Lake-Snake Hill: A too nice not to ride kind of ride

Mercer Island-Medina-520-MMoor: "I hate to trouble you" "No trouble at all" I replied as I slowed to help the oncoming rider who had flagged me down. He was hoping I could guide him to the loop around the east side of Lake WA from Mercer Island. After asking him if he knew of some common landmarks and coming up empty, we both laughed when I said that maybe he should have brought a map. He then explained that he had tried it the other direction and got to a certain point before turning around. He again laughed when I mentioned how that wasn't going to help him today, was it? So I started to describe the lefts and rights he needed to remember, and at some point I noticed that he had either a big phone or Garmin GPS on his bars, one that would have maps. I then said why don't you just use that (as I pointed) and plug in BOE? He said he would enter the VMAC, and I said great, if you get there, you are well on your way. What is the point of having a big device on your bars if you don't remember? forget? to use it? cE7.5 RE 7 ELSamm PR RE 7-7.4 brisk tail-cross wind w/some HW

Cougar Climbs: Snow Low⛄️ Today's incredibly clear air made it even more obvious just how low the snowpack is this year, especially in the Olympics. That portends a very bad fire season. cE8? >2 DOB's good energy OK legs RE SS.
