Want you to know thatTook the nice bike out for a spin. Across the 100th street bridge. The nicest way to get over the 405. Then up Hollywood Hill for the "Top Shelf" run.

Up 135th SE, headed toward Trilogy.

Back down Novelity and across 124th.

I then headed north a took Big Rock road in Duvall out to Kelly road, down Stillwater hill and into Carnation.
Up and over Tolt.Cascades were visible today...Nice. Down the 202 to Duthie Hill road. Duthie hill up to Samm Plateau, QFC for a quick bite then along ELSP.
Back into Redmond via Marymoor.
Across the 72nd(?) Street Bridge
When you see the Chesapeake's butt, you know the ride is over.

4.5 hours in the saddle, little hills included Hollywood, 135th SE, Big Rock, Tolt, and Duthie. I'm guessing what, 60 miles total?

Check it out. A modern Jesus....

Marley was born in the small village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica as Nesta Robert Marley. A Jamaican passport official would later swap his first and middle names. Norval was a Marine officer and captain, as well as a plantation overseer, when he married Cedella Booker, a black Jamaican then eighteen years old. Norval provided financial support for his wife and child, but seldom saw them, as he was often away on trips. In 1955, when Marley was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack at age 60. He once reflected:

I don't have prejudice against himself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.
