Ride Summary

Experience

  • My heart rate seemed to be off again. I really couldn’t tell what was going on. Was it my new favorite energy beverage, C4? Decided to buy new heart rate monitor batteries on the way home.

  • “Share the road” is the matra. Every single car that passed by waved exuberantly at me. My face hurt from smiling so much!

  • The City Park advertises designated free camping. I love this. I’d love to see Seattle do this to normalize urban camping and separate it from the homelessness epidemic and, worse off, panhandlers.

Weather

  • Dry, hot.

Spotted

  • Livestock; cows.

  • Some horses.

  • Super friendly locals. Some chatting it up with each other in their respective F150s, parked on opposite lanes of the road. Sounded like a long yarn of gossip and a conversation that happened on the regular on the road.

Roads

  • Smooth, newer asphalt.

Mechanicals

  • None during the ride….but the next day I found another slow leak had deflated my read tire. Arrrhhhghghghgh!!!
