Jury’s out

The Bellevue Garden D'Lights has been going since 1994. Never been before. Not likely to do it again. Sort of artificial and downright wierd. No plants were harmed, thankfully.

Peep bunnies on the bunny slope, in gingerbread.

Today’s ride

In the Ampersand coffee shop in Alki

November spin to Alki

Dry, not too cold, and all the detours under the Viaduct are gone, so it's much less stressful riding to West Seattle after so many tunnel reroute years.

Late lunch at Kalaloch Lodge

I'm back for the clam chowder I ate in September 2015, on my Adventure Cycling 18 Day Pacific Coast Route. Good memories.

Exiting my Thanksgiving hike

I'm glad I made the effort. It was nice to talk with Tim, a British guy from New York discovering the Hoh for the 1st time. Always magical.

To the past, thank you

Something new

Every hike is different.

Liquid sunshine!

Amazing live mods

For old times’ sake

I don't remember hiking up here except for a remarkable no snow President's Weekend in the early 2000s. A lifetime ago it seems.

Lunch spot at Mt Tom Creek

12:30 and rain has ceased.

Raining lightly

Heading towards Mt Tom Creek @ 2.9 miles

The Hoh

I'm taking a gamble on the Hoh River trail for a Black Friday hike.

Closed since summer.

Snow forecast not wrong

Off Lake Crescent

Time for my Thanksgiving dinner in the car. My gravy wasn't as warm as I'd have liked, so I must buy a new wide mouth thermos.

Off Okd Olympic Highway in Sequim.

Someone’s turkey dinner

On the top deck of the Walla Walla. Complete with stuffing mix and a pumpkin pie.

An hour later

Misty magic

Fremont Bridge 3pm Saturday November 10

Byen Bakery

Lovely to see a couple of freshly made Princesses in the display case.

Bakeri by bicycle

At Byen Bakeri in Fremont, south of the canal. Sunny Saturday in November, so I made time to ride Fiorello.

Input = output

My 27-mile rainy day outing burned about 1300 calories according to my phone app, so this didn't do any damage.

Deep Sea Sugar and Salt Bakery

Lots of tall cakes in interesting flavors.

Destination in Georgetown

Old times’ sake

Macrina In Belltown for Saturday brunch. So many memories. To the past, thank you.
