My Ride Today

I usually send out an email mid week to see who wants to ride. Some can, some can't. Today, no one can. So Saturday AM it's raining...raining....Shit....

About 11:00 it stops.....Time to go.

I head across the valley and drop by to see a friend. He's tied up with domestic daddy duties. He won't be riding, even with somebody on his doorstep. Oh well.

Down Novelty, I cross 124th, and decide to jump on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail.

It's looking a little gloomy....I suspect the bad weather is a coming.

Maybe it will clear up...No body on the rail trail on a day like to day...Snow forcasted. Rail Trail Action Shot

I pass through Carnation, get a coffee (which she didn't do right, which pissed me off, but instead of having her redo it, I just let it bother me. What a dumb ass.) and head up Tolt.This is a spot on the road where I stopped to fix a flat I got probably 100 yards ago. Is that the karma for being pissed off about the coffee drink? Probably.

I decide to climb Ames Lake, like 100 times before. but on my way back on Union, I decide to detour, cut through a couple of subdivisions and end up back on Ames Lake again. Good. Now I know more of the Broadhurst subdivision. I use my usual bypass road.Back on the side road of the 203....This spot always floods.No problemo as it's barely past my rim.....I've ridden it MUCH deeper.
The dark gloomy weather coming? Here it was. BB sized hail. Nice.
It's OK as someone was home, waiting for me to return.
