2/7/10

today was the first bike ride of the season for us. we met some friends at marymoore park and rode around lake sammamish. i'm guessing it took us about 90 minutes. that's a little off our normal time, but not by much. however, if you consider matt hasn't been on a bike since start of november, and i've only been on a stationary at the gym, we are feeling pretty darn good about the ride.

we chose to go clockwise from marymoore which is opposite how we usually go. by doing this we have a pretty significant hill on the south end of the lake. in the past, no matter how much we've biked it's just worn us out. but today i was really pleased. yes it was tough, but absolutely nothing like it's been in the past.

cold and upper 40s, almost all clouds i thought we were going to be racing the rain, but it held off, thank you very much! saw several hawks, a couple eagles.
