A salve for gray days

Walked through the Pike Place market yesterday to inhale spring.

A great Tuesday ride with L

Lucky first long group off the Vashon ferry

My 3rd Major Taylor

Never warmed as hoped and the cold downpour 1 mile from end was trying. But I did it

So pretty

Headed downhill for 7.5 miles

Mountain Loop to Barlow Pass is open

Grouse enjoying the quiet parking lot at Sun Mountain

Early dinner at Sun Mountain Lodge

Speak, memory.
A glorious sunny drive on opening day for Hwy 20. Decided to listen to myself and stay overnight in Winthrop (ca. 200 miles driving is enough.) I will be rested for the return to Seattle over Steven's Pass tomorrow. Plus I can treat myself to solitude and do some thinking/planning for a May trip to Scotland.
If not now, when?

Spring spin on lower lake

Laconia cafe at Snoqualmie Pass

As the ski season winds down. Some good skier cut nice curves on the slope. I look forward to seeing this hillside covered in weeds and flowers in a few months.

Lunch 10 minutes from the TH

A long drive to Umtaneum Falls to check bloom status (minimal) so enjoyed a scenic lunch spot with trout and birds. Some bluebirds flitting around. I think I'm still fatigued from yesterday's ride, so accepting it. Durr road in my future but road conditions very rutted. I'm just happy it's sunny and warming up.

End of tulip time in the production fields near Roozengaarde

A first ride with Skagit valley bike club

A promise of quinces

The downtown Bellevue Light rail stop

Carved by the same artist who did the ones in Columbia City.

A ride to string together all the new light rail stations on the Eastside

$6 a bunch

One of the most enjoyable parts of a tulip time ride

Version 2.0

Skagit Valley April 10

Never disappoints.

1:53pm Monday April 8 in Hardy, AR

Off to the zone of totality

Flights a bit bumpy and middle seats x2 but no matter. A chance to visit an unfamiliar part of the country.

Somebody splinterfingers from a ride on Wednesday

It's a bit creepy

Wednesday HIIT riding and coffee at Nordic museum

Catching up on Week 5 of my bike conditioning plan

Early leaf out on the P2C

A single yellow violet and some small spring beauties. Pity the flat tire halted my ride. But a good lesson in trailside repair.

April Fool!

First a bush whack that was character building, then barely 2 miles on the P2C and a flat I couldn't fix as the bead on my tire is very tight. So had a walk in the pretty forest and a chat with all the passing cyclists. Apparently the snow starts around Carter Creek.
