One thing about this ride is that it is far away – a solid 2 hours by car. By the time we hit MortonI really had to go. My advice is to take I-5 all the way to around Chehalis and then head east on 12. People picked up some food – I got three packs …

Remember when you were a kid and you were making Easter eggs? And you got tired of making those boring single color Easter eggs?

Nancy and I started at 9:00 am from the Mercer Island Community Center. The South Loop would be double the mileage from our last time out (i.e., the Mercer Island Loop). It was cool, but the sun was out. A perfect morning to cycle! We headed toward the East Channel Bridge, through the Mercer Slough …

The invitation seemed right- a lesiurely ride on the Sammamish River Trail to Woodinville and back. This was only about a 14 mile ride or so. A nice ride to stretch out the legs. Getting ready, I figured we would meet at Marymoore. Why not just ride over? Running a bit late I pushed the …

I drove into the Mercer …
