An open water swim this morning? ‘Sure’, I said!
This sounded like a grand idea to keep moving after RSVP - but to give my legs a rest. I forgot how much work my upper body does while I’m riding. Phewf! By 3/4 mile in the lake, my arms were tiiiired.
I’m glad I planned ahead for a massage today! If you live on the east side of Lake Washington, go see Anelody Tice at the Anderson Natural Health Clinic. She is a massage genius!!

We did it! The 2008 RSVP (Ride from Seattle to Vancouver (Canada) and Party!) was a huge success!! 1300+ riders (I was #3!), and 186 miles later…we were bottoms up (in so many ways).
I was worried that my back wouldn’t hold up however, all systems were go! I didn’t even get a flat. Our family doc (Go Ross!) was in our pace line so I knew that I’d be taken care of if anything glitched. Happily, I felt like I could go farther! Yeah!
Mitch (my spousal unit) is the Ride Director - so I know how much work goes into this event. His team was at their best. Mother Nature cooperated, the volunteers were brilliant, and the US border agents were only moderately jerky coming home.
All in all, a fine accomplishment! It’s clear why this event sells out before the end of January!
Thanks, Cascade Bike Club!!!

I must have made some Good Juju deposits in my karma account as, the last few times, I’ve rolled up to Martha Lake and scored a parking spot right away. On the very few really nice days of our summer, this is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you, Parking Gods! I will continue to spread love and light in the world!
(Plus, I had a decent swim! Knocked almost 3 minutes off -and that includes a short tete-a-tete with Bob at the half-way stump. Yeah!)

…ahhh, the secret to beating the heat is heading out later in the evening. The gnats are out but it’s a fair trade off. :-0

ARRGHHHHHH!
Every year I know this day will come….. sooner or later I know I will wake up at my normal time (5am) and it will be dark……. it is a sad day as I know this is the start of ‘fall’ and then…’winter’ will come. I am so solar powered.
(
Where can I live where it’s LIGHT out every morning at 5am? I don’t care if it gets dark early in the evening…….I just want to wake up to sun!!
Help!!

WhoooHOOO! A bike tour of the back country of Kirkland! Read: made a few ’alternate’ turns and ’discovered’ some cool hills! ) It was a great way to start the day…even if it did start while it was still DARK outside!
