A sunny day

After 5 days of riding in sunny Southern California it was nice to come back to Seattle and also have a beautiful blue sky to ride under. Okay, so it was 45 degrees colder.

4 ladies and I took off from Tukwilla and rode to Alki. It was 35 degrees as we pedaled off. The gals rode a slower pace and I wasn't generating any heat. The windchill was enough to make me quite cold. The first half of the 16 mile ride to Alki was very cold, then it began to feel a bit warmer. We were in full sunshine, closer to the water, and it was later in the day. Any one of those things could make it warmer, whatever the reason it was welcome.

We arrived at Tully's Coffee in Alki. I had a slice of banana nut bread. The girls had warm coffee drinks and spent some time visiting.


Having warmed up and refueled, we mounted our bikes and pedaled back. It had warmed up even more and was an enjoyable ride back. We rode on the Duwamish Trail and Green River Trail for much of our ride. Here we were along the Duwamish River.


It was a good ride.
