here’s the route i took.

http://mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/wa/seattle/565437194

i deviated from the map a little bit because i made a couple wrong turns.á specifically i didn’t go far enough west around mile 25 to get to the trail there, so i just went through town.á all told it was 43.5 miles.á there are a couple mean hills over in west seattle.á it is also very quiet over there.

when i got to the I-90 trail it was rather warm.á i found a park that had a faucet where i could soak my head.á i gave my helmet a good washin.á when i got home i was rather tired.á i was in the saddle for about 3 hours and surprisingly i could still feel everything.á gg specialized toupe.á i now understand the reason behind carbon bikes, and now want one very badly.á because lemme tell ya, aluminum, not so good for vibration dampening.á i was very glad for it in the climbs, but on rougher roads it transmits the whole road right to my butt and my arms.á next bike…

there is a flickr set of my ride today located here

tahuya tomorrow!á whee!á it’s tahuya day!á that means hot dogs, beer, boating, beer, and now a skidoo!á did i mention beer?

sunday, ride with a local club around seattle to yarn stores and bars!

so i left work early to go pick him up and he was very happy to see me. that is until i took him outside. he doesn’t like outside. he doesn’t like cars. he doesn’t like men who talk loud. he doesn’t like seagulls. he just doesn’t like outside, it scares him. when i brought him inside he just wanted to sit in the bathroom on the green rug. which is fine, he’s had a rough TWENTY SIX DAYS on the outside. he’s ready for some close-in indoors action.
after a while i just kept going in the bathroom and bringing him to the couch until he just laid down and slept for the last 3 hours. poor guy is all tuckered out. he seems a little agitated by the way the apartment smells, i think this is because edward, who we surrendered, peed everywhere and it still kinda smells like him.
well now he gets his own luxury box over in sand point to lord over; with 20ft ceilings and a loft he can peek down at people from. that’s right, we’re moving to a better place! woo! it’s been a pretty good last few days. i got one baby back, and i got a new place to live. an awesome place to live. with a real kitchen. and a fireplace. score.
