Elephant ears!

Seattle, Washington

With a break in the rain, it seemed finally time to try a new ride. Well, not completely new--but at least a new combination: north along the Cross Kirkland Corridor, west, and then south UP Juanita Hill. Stopped for my favorite coffee in Kirkland. And a great new book, too! Bliss.

BG doubleheader

Seattle, Washington

It may be Easter but the weather has not been very nice the last few days. Nonetheless, I headed out twice in the last two days for a ride on the BG. At least it wasn't cold and I got to finish one book, listen to several great podcasts and start a new book, too. April showers and all that!
