Day 8 of #ridingeverydayinNovember

Today was day 8 of the #ridingeverydayinNovember cycling challenge.  The second week!  So far I've been pretty lucky with the weather, that is bound to change soon.  November is usually the second wettest month in Oregon, very close on the heels of December.

This afternoon I hauled the fixie up north. The temperature was about the same as it was in Portland, but there were a few clouds.  They did not impact the view of Mt Rainier, as the locals would say, "the mountain was out". 

 I knew that riding every road on Tapps Island would yield about 10 miles. I decided that would be a good ride for today. 

 I started out towards a place referred to by locals as "The Outer Island".  The Outer Island has a gravel path around it and it was a bit dicey on my narrow tires, but I survived.

If I had a real  camera along, preferably with a polarizing filter, this would have been a good photo.  It was still worth stopping for.

It was fun, but I really should have biked more.  These sunny November days can't last. On the plus side, I've now biked more miles in November than in any other month this year.
