A foggy morning

Bombing down to Puget Sound

I missed out on the second SIR training ride. I was planning on carpooling with Peter Beeson up until he had to change plans for work. I woke up on time, packed my things and loaded the car. Driving about 5 miles, I realized that I forgot my wallet (and had yet to eat breakfast). I called this a sign and turned back around. I felt a little silly driving over an hour to the start for a 50 mile training ride by myself. That said, I’m sad I didn’t get a chance to see everyone. I managed to sneak a ride in anyways, tracing the first half (and bits of the last half) of the Summer 100K. The sun snuck out right around the time that I hit the waterfront on Maplewild St, so I sat at the public bench for a bit and enjoyed it.

Sunday, I had plans to meet up and ride with my clients at Tacoma Bike. Their cyclefit guy Tony wanted to show me around Tacoma a bit. I’ve ridden through once or twice, but it was nice to have some new roads to explore. We stuck mostly to flat trails and rode out past Orting and back. It was a pleasant weekend of riding overall.
