Today I decided I was going to ride my bike home from work. The weather this weekend is forecast to be cold and rainy (there may even be snow Friday night!), so I figured today was my best bet weather-wise. It actually turned out to be fine–50s and overcast the whole way, but no rain. Nothing spectacular of course, but perfectly comfortable.

I drove in this morning with my bike and my gear, changed at work this afternoon and left my car with my non-bike clothes on the Eastside for pickup tomorrow or later in the week. The path I took was 40th St down to the 520 bike trail, north to the Sammamish River Trail, followed until it becomes Burke-Gilman, exit onto the University Bridge in Seattle, Eastlake across to Franklin across to Lakeview, through that little park to Melrose to Mercer to Bellevue Ave and then home.

All told, it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes end-to-end. I think the route is a little less than 30 miles, so it was a decent work out too!
