Wind out of the north… head wind most of the way home
Today’s commute home was a good one. I love riding on Sundays as it is relatively quiet, certainly a lot fewer trucks on lower Spokane St! Made it a long ride home, 13.1 miles, and went around the point along Alki and then south again to meet up with Erskine for the climb up to the house. I have to work on some climbing strength as that was a slog! Maybe I can convince Michael and Mary to head out with me sometime and we can do a nice long climb, say up into the mountains one sunny day… What do you say you two?
Doing some quick figuring from my averages now, distances 10 miles or more, my 15 mph average will make the 70 miler almost 5 hours… That has to come down!
I recently sent out a second message to our supporters and have heard back from a few already with enthusiastic cheers for our effort and lots of love sent towards Beth. It feels great to be rallying around her like this, and I know for myself the riding is giving me a little more energy in life lately too!
Pass on the word to your friends and family too! Team Bear thanks you in advance for your help and support.
Until next time! Kevin
I’d be up for rolling through the mountains, I bet we could find something that starts out 1/2 way up the pass.
