Bob Marley's Birthday Ride

Hey Mon, leets go fo a bike ride!

Wednesday is Bob Marley's birthday but today was the day Cascade Bicycle Club celebrated it.  17 of us gathered at the CBC offices in Magnusen Park to ride a 42 mile ride.  There were dreadlocks, tie dyed cupcakes, and plenty of jokes about the now legal (in Washington) herb.

    Jenny was ride leader and took us out on a moderate paced ride to Alki Beach and back.  It was probably a bit warmer than yesterday, though a few sprinkles overnight had the roads damp this morning.  Nothing serious thankfully, as I'm on my carbon "fenderless" bike.

  We happened along a bike incident.  Seems that one bike was descending a narrow path and hit another who was coming up.  The guy that was coming up had dislocated a thumb.  He called his wife to come pick him up.   We did our best to make sure that both were okay and would be taken care of, before we rode on.  Thankfully, not our group, and nothing too serious.

   We arrived at Tulley's Coffee where we stopped for a bit before turning back around.  We picked up one extra rider who was asking how to get back to near UW.  As luck would have it, we were going back that way, and she was more than happy to  tag along.  She did well, kept right up, and rode safely.  That is always a concern when you pick up an unknown rider.

  I goofed up and took my camera, but not it's memory card, today.  I managed to get just a few photos as we prepared to ride on the camera's internal memory before I ran out of space.

We had a good ride. (and I already have ridden more miles this month than all of last month!)
