30 with 600’ climb at 18 average speed. The threat of rain is a real motivator. Didn’t manage to outrun it and returned a muddy mess. Luckily packed a rain jacket and cap

Yesterday/weds. 15.3 and and 640 gain. I did beat the rain but you could tell it was coming.

15.3 and about 600 feet of gain on an almost Spring day. it is getting there temperature-wise. I could just use a few more degrees. My usual loop with variations.
The urban loop has most of what I like in this area - views of Puget Sound from above at Sunset Park and then down at the waterline at Golden Gardens Park. One variation I like is to pedal along the sidewalk or road in the Marina and gaze at what I would estimate are the billion dollars worth of boats both big and small and excessive perhaps. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...eba2faacf0.jpg |
I got out for 35.5 miles today. Started at Log Boom Park just north of Seattle. I rode along the Burke-Gilman MUP trail into Seattle and went to Ballard and then return. Did a side tour up Stoneway Rd to get some hills in as the ride is pretty flat otherwise.

Ah, my neck of the woods. I use Burke and generally avoid Stone Way but then I do have to contend with cross streets whereas Stone Way is an arterial. From my house to Marymoor (climbing rock) is an even 25 miles, so 50 round trip and it is one of the flattest rides imaginable. Well, flat if you ignore all the root heaved pavement along the BGT!!! You could climb the switchbacks at Golden Gardens for hills and then head down 32nd to 77th west to Sunset Park, down 34th to 64th west down hill, stay right, through the tunnel under the railroad and back to the BGT. I don't like the switchbacks downhill since the pavement is not good and the lighting can be dappled making it hard to make out the pavement cracks and holes. |
Today marks the 10th consecutive day without riding, for the 3rd time this year. What I thought started out as the flu, along with a UTI, back in January, returned in February, has now become an acute case of prostatitis. I was in the ER a week ago Friday, again the following Monday morning, and now have a catheter with a bag strapped to my leg to allow the bladder to empty. At times, the pain was excruciating. I am now on a stronger antibiotic for 21 days, and limiting my diet, and have had much relief over the past few days, but my bodily functions are not working normally. I cannot get in to see a urologist until 4/6, so, at this point do not know when I will be able to ride again.
I was getting pretty antsy to do something yesterday, and may try doing a couple of easy things today, but, reality is, I cannot do all that much before starting to become uncomfortable. I surely do not want to make anything worse. |

I offer many thanks for your bravery to share all developments about this, and hope you do ride again. |

22.1 and about 700 feet. Nice day was able to leave the booties home and the toes made it home. Another good kind of loop. Lots of water views from up high and along the shore.
