Yesterday: 15.x and the usual 700+/- gain.

20 miles after work.

I gave myself a good beatdown today with 5 hours of sleep. Bonked pretty hard at the end too, awesome.

57 Miles O.D. A lot of mud on the roadways..

43 Miles O.D. before the heavy rain flowed in.

36 on wed and 66.1 today. amazing the difference low humidity and cooler temps can do for you

35 miles. Beautiful morning in the desert.

weather does often dictate the ride duration, that & vehicle density.

Thurs: 15+ and 700 or so feet.

Yesterday, Friday: 26 and 1,100 feet.

Friday's loop included four lakes, Greenlake, Bitter Lake, Lake Ballinger and Lake Washington - which just got me thinking (dangerous, I know) why are some of them X or Y Lake (Bitter Lake) and some of them are Lake X or Y (Lake Washington)? Okay, now back to your regularly scheduled thinking...

I often wonder how things got their designations as well.

if something significant in history didn't establish the name, then it might've been a "bought" name...

Yeah, for instance was

Pysht, Washington

Named after John Jacob Pysht? A great American manure salesman? :lol:

Longest ride ever. Second consecutive 1000+km month. Reached my 5000km yearly riding goal 3 months early. All in all, a wonderful day.

65 Miles O.D.

It'll start to add up quick if the available time & weather permits. I think I broke 1K Miles this month.

102 for the weekend. A 43 and 27 miler Saturday, and a 17 and 15 miler today.

32 miles today. Really beautiful weather, sunny, windy, low humidity, leaves starting to change. Rode mostly on tree-lined trails. Tons of people out walking, so lots of work standing to pick up speed after waiting my time to pass. Didn’t mind. Just so pretty!
