Ride Summary
Experience
Brain fog doesn’t describe it enough. Woke up in a daze, drank a C4, thought a ride would clear my mind. It was absolutely difficult to make sense of anything. Luckily pedaling is so ingrained into my muscle memory that I somehow managed.
The scenery was red and rugged, Utah-like. The stepped rock walls were not as grand as I passed driving into town, but they were distinct and impressive nonetheless.
Weather
Hot and sweaty, clear and calm.
Spotted
flocks of birds high in the sky
livestock
buddies in trucks stopped in the road to chew the fat.
lots of fellow cyclists.
happy kids and families playing in neighborhoods on bikes and such.
The City park doesn’t allow overnight parking, but has a designated space for free camping. I wonder if Seattle could benefit from a setup like this.
Roads
Largely butter-smooth and spotless.
Mechanicals
None
