<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I did register for many rides for 2020 but with the Covid-19 epidemic I don't know if they will happen. But hopefully by the time summer arrives things will be better and I can at least do the summer events. I think the spring events are a no go. So hopefully the RAMROD and Petal Pedal will still be on the calendar. Those are my two big rides for this year. I will keep training as if they will happen and hope for the best.</span></div>

I have enjoyed so many awesome rides this month. I've done a century and 80-90 mile rides on the weekends. And 30-50 mile rides on the weekdays. The weather has been just wonderful. I must admit that our summers here in the PNW are just fantastic. Winters suck but summers . . . you just can't beat! Here are some pictures from some of my July rides.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another great ride is to Alki for the views and the food! We had a marine layer on the morning of this ride so it was a cool start but by the time we were ready to head back the sun came out and clouds parted. The food at Marination Ma Kai was delicious as always!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now this ride was 71 miles long on a very hot day from East Puyallup Trailhead all the way up to 2 miles past Mount Rainier's Carbon River Ranger Station. It was a climb all the way to the entrance and a sweet descent all the way back!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These are just a few of the rides I did in July! August will be just as filled with rides plus a big bike event the weekend of August 17-18. I will be riding the RSVP, Ride from Seattle to Vancouver B.C. and Party, for the third time this August with Candice. Stay tuned for a write up with pictures of this one!</span>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746884.post-61621603707638072842018-07-17T06:25:00.000-07:002018-07-17T06:25:06.024-07:00Hello!<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow, it's been a few years since I posted here on my blog page. Since my last post two years ago, almost to the date, I have retired and I'm still riding my bike. In fact this Wednesday, tomorrow, the same ride I did on my last post I will be doing again. My friend posted this lovely ride to Alki Beach and Marination Ma Kai will be our lunch stop again. Yummy, I am looking forward to it because they have the best Asian tacos! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am also training for my third RSVP this coming August. I will be riding it with my good friend Candice. I will try and remember to write a post of my trek from Seattle to Vancouver B.C. when it's over. So stay tuned! </span>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746884.post-72484282275613803692016-07-16T07:20:00.001-07:002016-07-16T14:57:02.882-07:00Renton to Alki for Lunch<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On Tuesday, July 12th, I joined Marizel on her posted ride "TREATS: Spinning to Alki for Lunch". We had a total of 15 riders on this beautiful July morning. We began our ride from the Renton Community Center and headed north towards Alki. It turned into a beautiful day. Big puffy clouds and the perfect temperature for a summer ride. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When we arrived at Alki we stopped at Marination Ma Kai for lunch. Their tacos were delicious. I had three (they are small but tasty), a chicken miso taco, spicy pork taco and a fish taco. And the view across the water of the Seattle landscape was gorgeous. Filled with delicious food, awesome views and friendly riders we headed back to Renton. All in all a great day on my bike.</span><br />

This is a 13 week course that helps cyclist prepare for a big ride, i.e. a century ride like the STP (Seattle to Portland bike ride). Cyclists are trained in a group environment and are taught safe riding skills that are essential for all cyclists and very helpful in a large event. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our first ride was on a beautiful spring morning in April and it was only 26 miles long. For most of the riders it might as well have been a century. Each week we increased the mileage and elevation until by week 12 our ride was a century long. For our cyclists the century was like a 26 mile ride. How much they had progressed! Amazing! From a struggling 26 miles to 100 miles with ease. And our last ride of the series, ride number 13, was a 50 mile loop around Lake Washington. More of a celebration ride than a training ride with a party at the end. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was very happy to have been part of the series. I got to see the improvement over the last three months of the riders. From their struggles on a 26 mile ride to their strength on the century ride. Having completed the series our riders are now ready for the STP, RSVP and any other organized long distance ride this summer and fall.</span><br />

I rode the Chilly Hilly on Sunday, February 28th with two good friends, Marizel and Wendy. Though we started together we soon separated into our own paces. We met after the ride and enjoyed a delicious meal at the Crab Pot. Our day began early on a ferry ride from Seattle to Bainbridge Island on a blustery, wet, cold and windy day. Our bike ride around Bainbridge had everything. Rain, wind and even sunshine. It was as hilly as I remembered. But I had a blast! This ride is the official start of the cycling season in the Seattle area. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The next great ride was the Emerald City Bike Ride on Sunday, April 3rd. This year was the first. We actually got to ride across the brand new 520 floating bridge. It wasn't opened to traffic yet and the city put on a fantastic weekend to celebrate the new bridge. On Saturday there was a run across the bridge and on Sunday, Cascade Bicycle Club had the ECBR which I participated in with my friend Candice. Besides riding across the new bridge we got to ride on Seattle streets and highways without car traffic. It was totally awesome! A once in a life time ride and I got to do it! Sweet!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The next ride that I did this year that I feel was pretty darn exceptional was the Flying Wheels Century Bike Ride on Saturday, June 4th. The weather for the day was a record breaker. We reached the mid 90s with plenty of hot sun and wind. It was a tough but fun ride. I also rode this one with my friend Candice. This was her very first Flying Wheels. Even though it had a few very steep climbs, was hot and windy we both had an awesome day on our bikes. We celebrated when we got back to the finish eating gyros and drinking chocolate milk underneath the shade of a big tree. We saw friends come in and chatted with many. It was a very celebratory atmosphere. I wish I had done the century (I usually do) but bowed out due to the heat. I wasn't sure how well I would do riding it. I was fine in the end but my friend Candice got a bad sunburn.</span></div>

I have been leading rides, helping out on training rides, and riding in a couple of my favorite events. And then there are the rides I do alone or with friends, both being the best kind of rides! I hope to keep up with my riding throughout the summer months and into the fall. Here are a few pictures taken on my rides between January and May .</span> . .<br />

There were my morning coffee rides which were awesome because of the beautiful summer mornings and sunshine and of course the reward of coffee at the half way point. Then there were my long weekend rides, all along scenic views like the Sumner to Alki ride where I had lunch with a spectacular view which looked out across the sound to the Seattle sky line. Then there were the Sumner to Gig Harbor rides, with a magnificent view from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I also participated in the inaugural south end "All Girls Ride". FUN! And of course my big big ride the RSVP. Ride from Seattle to Vancouver BC and Party! A two day ride which started at 6 AM on Friday, August 15th from the University of Washington's parking lot to Bellingham, WA with a total of 110 miles to my hotel. And from Bellingham to Vancouver on day two with a total distance of 82 miles. I'm always sad when my summer break ends and I'm back at work but on the bright side I go back with a great bank of memories of wonderful rides that will get me through the long winter months. Summer 2014 was a super cycling season! :-)</span><br />

We met at the Fred Meyer parking lot at 8:00 AM. There were 23 riders including myself on this beautiful summer morning. We set off and rode from Sumner through Puyallup into Tacoma. We passed Stadium High School on our way to the Ruston Way waterfront. The highlight of the ride was riding over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I love riding over this bridge. The views are always spectacular! After we crossed the bridge we headed to Olympic Village shopping center where we stopped for our mid ride break. On our return ride we had to go down South 25th Street hill that runs through Tacoma. It's very steep with a traffic light at every single corner and of course we caught every light! We finished off on flat roads back through Puyallup and into Sumner. </span><br />

I did my ride this summer on Friday, July 18th. The day started out with a very light marine layer that burned away quickly. By the time I arrived at the ferry dock the sun was peeking through. The crossing is only 15 minutes and once docked I exited the ferry and began climbing. My first visit was to Maury Island and Point Robinson to see the lighthouse. To get to the lighthouse meant a lot of climbing but with a sweet reward of an awesome downhill to Robinson Park. After my visit and numerous picture taking I left and began my climb back up and out of Robinson Park. I decided not to visit the bike in the tree this trip because I have seen it many times and I have countless pictures of it so I continued on until I came to the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie where I took a nice break and enjoyed a wonderful dark chocolate mocha. My ride continued to the north end of the island where I screamed down a 21% grade to the Vashon North End Ferry Terminal. After a short break I climbed back up that hill I flew down. Believe me coming down was a lot more pleasant and fun then the climbing up and out was. I finished my adventure on Vashon by riding around the west side of the island back to the south end and the Tahlequah dock where I caught the ferry back to Point Defiance. What a great day on both my bike and the island. </span><br />

I finished the CTS series, riding the last ride of the series on July 5th. It was a celebration ride. We did the 50 mile full lake loop with a BBQ at the finish. It was a beautiful day and a great ride. In the month of June Joe, Jackie, and me visited my sister and her husband in Basalt, CO where I got to ride on the Rio Grande trail from my sister's house to Aspen and back. Forty miles out and back on a beautiful trail with gorgeous views of rivers and mountains of the Aspen country side. We were only there for three days so I didn't get to ride on some of the roads I wanted to but I will be back to visit again and for a much longer time so I can ride all the roads! After Basalt we drove through Wyoming and into Montana where we visited Joe's brothers and sister before heading back home. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I will be riding as much as I can through July and August both leading rides and riding on my own too. I have one big ride this summer the RSVP on August 15th and 16th. Start is in Seattle. On day one we cycle to Bellingham on day two we continue on to Vancouver, BC. This will be my first RSVP and I am looking forward to it very much.</span></div>

In the month of March I finished the GR2R ( Getting Ready to Ride series) only to begin the CTS (Cascade Training Series) in April. Our first CTS ride was only 28 miles long with a total elevation gain of 1160 feet. I just finished riding CTS #10 last Saturday which was 92 miles long with an elevation gain of 4146 feet. There are only three more CTS rides left to this year's series. June 22 and 28 and our final ride on Saturday, July 5th which is more of a celebration ride, the 50 mile loop around Lake Washington which we did on CTS #4. Also, in mid May I began a diet of sorts. I cut out all processed foods and refined sugars with wonderful results. I lost 7 pounds in 5 weeks. My goal is to lose 10-15 more pounds. I will be off all summer beginning June 18th (I just love working in a school because of the great breaks, especially summer break!) Here are a few pictures from some of the rides I did from March, April, and May . . . </span><br />

I woke up to bright sunshine and a brilliant clear blue sky which was deceiving because the temperature on my thermometer read 37 degrees. I got my bike ready and then I dressed into my riding clothes and off I went on a bike ride. I drove to the Foothills Trailhead in Sumner and started my ride. I headed towards Orting and continued on to South Prairie and then to Wilkeson. After reaching the town of Wilkeson I headed back. I stopped at the Orting Bakery on my return trip for a coffee and one of their fine toffee crunch cookies. Refreshed I got back on my bike and finished off the last 8 miles of the ride. Although it was sunny, with a warm sun beating down on me, the air that was blowing into me (yes a headwind) was "arctic" cold. I'm happy that I rode today because the weather is taking a drastic turn beginning tomorrow. They are calling for snow, AGAIN! Yes, rain mixed with snow. Hopefully it will not be as bad as they are reporting especially for Sunday as I have a ride to lead. Here are a few pictures that I took on today's ride . . . </span><br />

Our first ride was cancelled last week because of SNOW! I thought we would be cancelling today's ride too because of weather but the rain held off. Though we had no rain on this ride we sure had wind. 25-30 wind gusts. Going north we had a tailwind but when we turned south we hit the wall of wind! It felt like we were riding in Boeing's wind tunnel. But we had 17 hardy riders show up and the ride was great. A nice workout. Here I am giving ride details and safety briefing to the riders.</span><br />

I'm back on my bike, I'm a ride leader, I'm doing the GR2R South End series rides and after this series ends I am helping out with creating rides in the Pierce County area for CBC. And I've signed up to finally ride the RSVP, one ride I have been wanting to ride for years but never gotten around to it. I've done the Daffodil Classic, the Chilly Hilly, the May Day Metric, the Flying Wheels, the STP, RAMROD, and many many other big event rides but the RSVP has eluded me all these years but finally this will be the year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Besides my bike riding I have been doing a lot of archery with my husband. This is another pass time I truly enjoy. And I'm getting pretty good at it too. Last year I shot three Robin Hoods! <span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: #000033;">A term given to two arrows shot end to end, the second arrow embedded into the rear of the first. Happens rarely, so the arrows are usually kept as a trophy. And I have all three of mine! Here are pictures of two of my Robin Hoods . . .</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My third ride was a very wet and soggy ride but fun never the less. I had six people sign up but half way through two had to drop out because of frozen feet! Besides the rain and wind the temperature was quite chilly and these two riders came without booties to keep their feet warm. Here is a picture of the four remaining riders and me at Panera Bread in Kent. We enjoyed coffee, soup, sandwiches, and pastries before continuing on. Even with the constant down pour we had a great time! All riders who came were happy I did not cancel the ride. As one rider said, "If you don't ride in the rain, you'll rarely ride in Washington"!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My last ride in November was my favorite. It was a sunny gorgeous day. Blue sky but frigid temperatures. The start of the ride was a frost biting 29 degrees but by the end of the ride it was a balmy 43 degrees. The sun made it feel balmy and the hills of Vashon helped keep us nice and warm. Four people signed up but only two were able to make the ride. The three of us had the best ride and a great time riding and chatting and enjoying the views that Vashon had to offer. One rider complimented me by saying it was her favorite ride she's attended this fall! She's glad I posted it and looks forward to more adventure rides like the one we had that day. We took the 10:05 AM ferry from Point Defiance to Vashon Island and began our afternoon adventure. We stopped by the tree that swallowed the bike, which was followed by a stop at Cafe Luna to warm ourselves before we continued our roller coaster ride around the island. November was a month of extreme weather and riding conditions. The month began with a severe storm of high winds and rain, followed by rain and more rain, but by the end of the month the sun finally came out but with freezing temperatures. I wonder what the month of December will bring with it?</span></div>

It was the first step towards becoming a ride leader for Cascade Bike Club. The next criteria was leading two rides with a ride mentor. My first mentored ride was on May 18th with Page. We rode her Fall City Carnation route. My second mentored ride was with Marizel on May 23rd. Her ride was the South Lake Washington route. With all criteria met I am now a ride leader for my club. I've only lead three</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> rides since becoming a ride leader because my daughter was in the hospital for over a month. Now that she is home and healing I hope to lead more rides in the future. </span>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746884.post-32409928711163350542013-04-11T10:38:00.000-07:002013-04-11T10:38:15.972-07:00I'm Back!<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After a year off my bike I am back. I started riding again in February and my hope is to be back in shape by the time summer arrives! I even signed up to become a ride leader. I figure if I lead rides I will ride more often! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My sister wants to start cycling too. When I visit her in Aspen this summer I'm going to help her look for a bike. I believe this will be a good year. Another good thing is my daughter is on her way to health. She has been very sick this past year (one of the reasons besides my back that I was off my bike). She is scheduled for surgery in June and will be coming off all the nasty medicines she has been on this past year. So good things are coming! I believe this in my heart!</span><br />

I am finally at the point where I can no longer ride my bike or even do simple daily chores. I am going in to see a specialist this Thursday, March 22nd to see what is going on. I hope he will be able to help me because I want my old life back. This stinks!</span>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746884.post-7652290933685602522012-01-08T16:22:00.000-08:002012-01-08T16:28:07.482-08:00Good Weekend<span >I went for a long hard walk yesterday with my daughter and my husband. We did a 3 mile loop with a steep hill (12% grade) included. Today I went for my first bike ride of 2012. It was sunny but very cold. The starting temperature on today's ride was 34 degrees but by the time I finished it was 47 degrees and with the sun shining down it felt a lot warmer. I only rode 16.43 miles but it felt like I rode a century. I guess that's to be expected when one has not been on ones bike since November 6th! :-P But it sure felt good to be outside today in the fresh air and sunshine. I guess it's time to start riding again! Spring is around the corner and some great seasonal rides are coming up in the months ahead! It begins! :)</span>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746884.post-59252337571731587082011-12-16T05:43:00.000-08:002011-12-16T05:47:26.728-08:00Slacking Off Again<span class="Apple-style-span" >The weather is miserable and as I normally do every winter about this time I've stopped riding. I guess I'm just not a winter rider. When the rain, fog, ice, and snow appear I look out the window and shudder. Oh well I will try and get a few short rides in during my winter break. I will be off from Wednesday, December 21st through January 4th a good time to get back on the saddle.</span>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.com2
