Brrr.... I waited for a bit (a long bit) to get on my bike and started from Gasworks close to noon. I took the trail all the way to Marymoor focusing on cadence and speed. I was psyched to have averaged slightly over 16 mph even with a bit of a headwind the last 5 miles and hoped to keep it up.

I hopped on to the path parallel to 520 and got a bit mixed up in Bellevue but found my way again across Mercer Island and finally across the bridge and back to to the car. By the time I got to the car, I was quite cold and completely sweat soaked but my spirits were high and I was so glad to actually get in a sunny ride outdoors in January. I sure love living here :)
