A change of plan

It is likely the last dry day for at least a week. I geared up and prepared to go for a good long ride.  As I was walking out the door, I reminded Julie that this was likely her last chance to get a January ride in, unless she was going to ride in the rain. She had biked once in November, once in December, it would be a shame to break the string now.  ;-)

She agreed, and hopped on her mountain bike with flat pedals, a fleece coat, and no helmet.  This obviously was not going to be a serious bike ride.

We started off on a lap around Queen Ann, but soon stopped at the local hardware store. I stayed out with the bikes, she made a quick walk in and out.   We pedaled on a few blocks and came to an overlook.

We rode onward.  In a matter of blocks we came to a garage sale.  Julie looked for bargains while I looked back toward the Olympic Mountains, and the hill we had just biked up.

We pedaled on, taking a little loop through Parsons Gardens, as we made our way along.
We continued around the south end of Queen Ann.  We made a very quick stop at Kerry Park, where there is a good view of the Space Needle and Elliot Bay, but neither were as photogenic today as they usually are, so we rode on.

It was a gentle climb back northward as we wrapped up today's short ride. Julie kept her "one ride per month" streak alive.
