^ Yea no kidding SR, beautiful day for a bike ride yesterday.

Got a nice long loop under sunny skies.
The bloom’n trees near the Snoqualmie Train Depot on the way to Seattle.

Crossing the floating bridge you can see a North wind is blowing - the water being darker on the right hand side. Around here, North winds signal nice weather.

After crossing the bridge, I head North riding the well known “Lake Washington Loop” bike route.

Passing through the Arboretum surrounded by many flowering trees and shrubs.

Onward to the University of Washington campus to admire the blooming cherry trees.

Time to close the loop and ride home. Up over Lake Washington via the Burke-Gilman Trail then down to Redmond on the Sammamish River Trail.
A long climb up n over Redmond Ridge via Novelty Hill and I’m in the lower Snoqualmie Valley.
I finish it with peaceful ride up the Snoqualmie Valley Trail to home.
First Century of the year for me.
