Today, Ben, Jeff, Joe and I rode out to Marymoor Park–more specifically to the entrance of the Cirque du Soleil tent. I started from home, but met the guys at University Village on the way. All told, it was a pretty long ride. The recorded distance was 54.58 miles, but I forgot to start my bike computer after stopping between (roughly) Ooba Tooba’s and Leary Way. That probably adds an additional mile to the ride, making it one of the longest rides I’ve done outside of the STP.

In fact, last year the weekend before STP, I did this same ride from my apartment to Marymoor and back. My apartment was two blocks closer then and I took a different route around the ship canal (Montlake Bride -> Montlake playfield -> Delmar St this time vs. University Bridge -> Fuhrman Ave -> Shelby St -> 11th).

The weather was fairly cruddy today (overcast and in the 50s). Not every weekend in Seattle can be beautiful or we’ll stop appreciating or something. Still, it was a good ride and I’m tired.
