It was an easy ride, starting down Queen Ann hill then rolling with a good tailwind along the Burke-Gilman Trail. I stopped at Mathews Beach.
Ths sky was mostly cloudy, with some clouds so dark that I thought for sure I'd put my goretex to use.
I continued on to the Samammish River trail and followed it as it curved around into the wind.
I got out near Marymoor and stopped for a bit and watched dads and their kids launch model rockets. I continued up Bear Creek trail for a bit but gave up when the trail was detoured because of high water. I turned back around when I had just over 30 miles.
I retraced my outbound route on the Samammish River Trail until I reached the very end, then took the alternate way to connect back to the Burke-Gilman Trail.
As I neared the Fremont Bridge it looked like I was going to be a little short on miles to reach 700 for the month, so I continued on the B-G to Ballard. I finally turned around when I saw 60 miles on the odometer.
As I turned around I approached a 4 way stop. I slowed to a stop, a "person on a bike" blew past me, and through the stop sign much to the chagrin of a motor vehicle driver who had to brake for the fool. Thanks guy for doing so much to soothe tensions between cyclists and motor vehicles.
I made my way back up Queen Ann and rolled the bike into the garage with 64 miles for the day, and 701 for the month. Whatever I ride tomorrow will be gravy! Not a drop of rain today.
