Today I started at Daniele's place in Ballard an rode down to visit Scott in Renton. I rode down via the Duwamish River Trail onto the Green River Trail then via the Interurban trail to 228th. After a brief conversation with Scott and Julie I continued on 228th to the Green River trail and came back up north. After a brief stop at my apartment on Capital Hill I continued onto Ballard via the U-District. On the whole a trip that was notable mainly for the nice weather in the afternoon - though I keep being reminded that I hate wind.

Lunch at the Brewery (yet again)
Miles Ridden:48.6
Total Miles Ridden:775.3
Miles Remaining 324.7
Days Remaining:7
I rode out to the brewery for lunch today. I was going to do something else - but after yesterday's ride my legs were killing me. I stopped by the bike shop on the Burke-Gilman trail just past the UW - and they were kind enough to adjust the front derailer and give me a brief tutorial on the workings and how to adjust it. On the way back I somehow got sidetracked at Barnes and Nobles and lost track of 3 hours... no idea how that happened :)

Around lake Washington
Miles Ridden: 67.3
Total Miles Ridden:726.7
Miles To 1100: 373.3
Days Remaining:8
Need to average:46.6
Today I rode up to Kenmore and met up with Jeffrey to ride around the lake. Ouch. On the east side of Lake Washington there sure are alot of hills... Near the south end of the lake I started having problems shifting - making for a fun ride going up hills. After taking a break in Colum(?) park (and having a milkshake at Kidd Valley) we rode around to Seward park and rode around there. We then kept going north up the lake and I took a wrong turn and Jeffrey and I ended up crashing a wedding that was occuring along the lake :)
On the whole this ride was alot hillier than just going out to the brewery or down south along the interurban trail.

Over to Redmond to watch Soccer
Miles Ridden: 63.2
Total Mile Ridden:659.4
Miles remaining to minimum payoff: 440.6
Days Remaining: 9

Today I rode over to Redmond to watch a soccer game. So I rode along the Burke-Gilman trail over to Samamish River Trail (Freemont was crowded today in preparation for the solstice festival). This was my fastest ride to the Brewery - 1:30! At least I'm getting faster... thats about 20 minutes faster than at the start of the month.

Today i rode over to have lunch with some friends at a mexican restaurant in downtown Seattle. After a nice long lunch I went for a ride along the beach in West Seattle. I got to the southworth ferry then came back. A very nice ride along the water :) (Other than all the people along the path... gee what are people doing out walking on the path along the water on a sunny day??)

Thursday
Miles Ridden: 15.2
Total Miles Ridden:556.7
Today I was going to go for a ride, but then I decided to call a friend and see what he was doing for lunch.. turns out he's quitting at the end of the month, so I rode over to have lunch with him... Then I decided to go for a ride around the west seattle waterfront via the locks - when I got to Freemont I decided to give Dan H. a call and see what he was doing - so he and I sat talking for a bit and I found out that today was the day that a previous employer of mine was laying off a large number of staff - Ouch. Those various talks took a while to occur and since I had to finish up early to go get ready to go see Avenue Q in the evening (Hilarious show), I just went down to Golden Gardens park and back. So a short day.
