Day One

This was not a day for discovering new and facinating aspects of the landscape of Seattle, or my mind. It was just a ride over familiar ground and wouldn't get a mention were it not DAY ONE.

About 58 miles in 6 hours of riding. Actually pretty tough going. The loaded bike is very heavy and today there were 8 significant hills. Also warm enough to have an effect. I don't think I can sustain working as hard as I did today, day after day. I wonder how those guys with Lewis and Clark did it, dragging and paddling and poling those boat up the Missouri. Quite a feat.
