I took the Holland out for some Island time yesterday.

For those familiar with the Seattle area: Starting in the city of Redmond, I rode into Seattle via Sammamish River > Burke-Gilman > South Ship Canal > Elliott Bay Trails and hopped on the ferry to Bainbridge Island.
I rode clockwise around the Island before heading back to Seattle and closing the loop to Redmond via the SR 520 trail.

I’ve always ridden Bainbridge in a counter clockwise direction I guess because that is the way I became familiar with the place from riding the well known Chilly Hilly route.
Doing it in the other direction gave me a different perspective - like riding new roads….

Aptly named:

A beautiful time of the year to enjoy the Island
