Pi Day Update

 

Friday was gobsmackingly gorgeous so we took a long lunch break to ride to Alki. These gulls thought we had fries (and maybe we did , but not for sharing)

 It feels like I should be able to write quite a bit as it's been a week with some fine rides; yesterday, for example, we went just shy of 26 miles about which Love to Ride tells me: 

But the ride was to Besalu (and back) and I don't know how cake slices equate to croissants, so it's not so helpful.

Although it happens to fall on Gradka's anniversary this year, DST was last night and that makes this my least favorite day of the year, the day the hour of sleep is stolen from us. I'm a bit tired, one way or another, so this is a brief mileage update featuring a handful of photos from recent rides. 

Mount Rainier from West Seattle a few days ago

There's a wall downtown with what turns out to be changing murals; last time we were by it was an American Indian woman encouraging voter turnout; now it's patient empowerment.

We were surprised to find that a million crocuses had been added to Dragonfly Park.

 

The impetus for yesterday's long ride (besides the lovely weather): baked goods and the Tom Hornbein Alpinist

  Beware the Ides of March; studies show that there are significantly more accidents on the Monday following the start of Daylight Saving Time than usual.  Bah, humbug I say.
