Another beautiful bike ride with Pat and Lita this morning...rode from the bike tunnel on the west side of I-90, over the bridge and around Mercer Island, and back...

you lookin at me?...

I like the colors more in the early morning hours. This was just before a little rain came through...

Rode my bike for a few hours this morning. Went north along the river, zigzagged through Goergetown and under the 1st Ave S bridge, and ended up going along Marginal Way West towards the W Seattle bridge. Nice ride. Returning home, I rode up Des Moines Way and through the Boulevard Park area. I'm getting stronger as I ride more and more, spending more time in the higher gears.

This morning: a walk in Lincoln Park with Andrea and Brittany,

and then back for a bike ride along the G River, where I discovered that fishing season must have opened up...

working out in the yard, not...

I got out earlier this morning.
there were some nice greens...

I did a reverse trip, of the loop ride on the GR Trail south from the Community Center to just north of the Foster Golf Course, where I cut West and went through the island-like area. That's where they blocked it off to through traffic because of the one-way road under the freeway there, on the East side of the river (black dot). The white stripes you see here in the photo are train tracks, not a road. The road dead ends (I think) not far beyond where I cut back West.

I stopped by the park and beach opposite BECU to check on the Fish Hawk (yellow dot).

can't say "there wasn't a sole on the beach"

There were some nice reflections and colors under the Freeway bridge (green dots on the map):

The white specs were little bits of debris floating in the mostly still water.

Seatac Airport

This morning's bike ride: I rode to the airport, which is a gentle grade most of the way. I spent a lot of time slowly pedaling in gears 2 and 3, but the ride back home was coasting most of the way. Went up into the Airport LRT station and into the Terminal, and I took a little break by the rock fountain thing outside the south end.
