Labor Day

Last night Katie called to see if I was up for a bike ride...then she remembered she needed to run too.  The Juliana is in the shop, so I rode the Nomad (all 32 lbs of it!).  I rode (while Katie ran) the Sammamish Trail from McD's out four miles and then back.  She picked up her bike and we rode nine miles out to Marymoore park and then back.  It was a total of 26.4 miles for me.  This may seem wimpy...but remember this was on an all mountain rig with low pressure knobby tires riding on gravel.  We didn't ride fast...it was fun to get out on the bike.  I've never ridden all the way to Marymoore on the trail...so that was a nice achievement.

Spring Classes end in a couple of weeks (at least for Spring Q) and my work will slow down for the summer...so I'm looking forward to more riding.  My summer classes are on Tuesday and Thursday which will be a nice change from the Monday Tuesday grind I'm doing now.  Have I mentioned that I only have 6 classes left on the MBA!  It feels like a bit of a sprint...but I just keep telling myself that 2 in summer, 2 in fall and 2 in winter and then I'm done....just in time for Spring riding!
