SheRidesToday Page Updates: Project Sunrise Summaries
I spent some time recently updating some of the pages to SheRidesToday. This new page highlights a single photo of the quintessential view of Space Needle from Kerry Park in Seattle. Mt. Rainier sits behind the city. Sometimes she shows her face, sometimes she hides behind the weather. Check it out!
SheRidesToday Page Updates: Project Sunrise Routes
One of the goals of the sunrise project is to ride a different route every single day. Some days have more variety than others. So far, I haven’t repeated a route yet!

Project Sunrise Continues
Project Sunrise: Week 1
I decided to ride my bike to Kerry Park every morning to greet the sunrise. The goal is to bike a slightly different route to Kerry Park every morning and take a photo. I have been riding my bike to work most days for the past 8 years. I have the lucky advantage of living in a north enough latitude and have a long enough commute in each direction that I often get the chance to ride with either the sunrise or sunset and sometimes both. If it weren’t for the grey weather that hides the sunrises and sunsets, I could probably see sky colors most of the days of my commute. I’m working from home now with the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order that looms over most of the country as we limit contact to combat COVID-19. I don’t have a morning commute any more and the gym is closed. My job is the 24/7 sort, so the working from bit doesn’t feel all that different from normal, but having no access to the gym has been the death of me. This project gave me a destination, a way to get out of bed, and a good climb too. I finally found a repeatable ride that meets 2 of the 3 parts of a good ride: exercise, destination, social time. This activity is about half of what I did while working onsite, so it should be easy to maintain every day. I decided Sundays don’t have to be sunrise rides because there is already a “sun” in the “day” (har har). You can tell easily from the summary photos which days are not sunrises!
