around 30 miles.

61 today outside. Very warm and steady wind from the west. Cold front coming through tonight, suppose to be glorious with a high of 74 tomorrow, but I will be sitting at a restaurant with some of my wife's friends. :notamused:

34 miles. Perfect 60 degree temps, sunny and windy!

Nice looking trail! Where is it? My wife and I are RVers and love trying out new trails. Thanks!

44 Miles O.D. Teeth chattered for the first few miles.

Oh, the sacrifices made in the name of domestic harmony!

23.2 (can't omit the .2) and a gain of 1,180 feet. Really glorious day compared to the dreck we've been having.

21 miles with more hills today. About 60 degrees again and sunny with a bit of wind. Very nice!

One of my favorite in-town rides.

You actually tread over to this side of the great barrier reef, well, lake? :p

You actually are convincing me it may be time to travel again. Shanghai was the last City in a two week China trip and the entire trip was phenomenal. Actually, Google keeps throwing me images from exactly two years ago and China was it. Followed quickly by a trip cross country skiing in the Dolomites the following Feb. Both were a great way to end travel but maybe it's time to get back in the saddle, well, the airplane seat!

And ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH, NONE

It was a day for absolutely phenomenal live music - Seattle opera. The first in more than a year and a half.

Lived in Lake City for many years and was an avid member of Cascade - so was riding constantly in the greater and lessor Seattle area. Used to bike commute to downtown to the old WaMu tower. Used to dice it up with the traffic downtown - but those days are long over - thank dog.

40 miles with 4600 feet of climb in the Puente Hills of CA.
Popped a rear spoke around mile 30 but was able to take it easy another 10 miles until home.

I use to commute to/from Renton from Greenlake but not during Winter. You get spoiled by riding along Lake Washington but Montlake and the U-district would counter that!

I've occasionally gotten nuts but not much recently and would bike down to the Pike Place Market.

Took my usual workday lunchtime 35km ride today.

33-spot with a little rain early then some sun at the end.

maan...there is some truly wretched pavement in my neighborhood currently.

Went for a spin. 50s and calm.

I did the same 17 out and back yesterday on the MTB and today on the drop bar bike. It was beautiful both days, though today was windier.

Nothing special, trying to drop some weight doing hill repeats.
42 miles and 5200 feet of climb on a sunny day in the 70's with a lot of other local roadies out as well.
