Sunday in the park

It was a beautiful day today, although it was a bit chilly. B. and I decided to go for a late afternoon bike ride. We rode to Seward Park, did a loop, then rode for a couple of miles along lake WA Blvd, did another loop around the park, and then rode home. We rode close to 12 miles, but it did not seem that long, because the route was relatively flat (except, of course for the killer hill on the way home).

The only trouble is that with my bike, which is designed to keep your body more upright than regular street bikes, it's very hard to get any momentum. (I needed something that would be easy on my low back). I found myself struggling to keep up with B.--and this time it was not due to lack of exertion or physical ability!

Still, it was a lot of fun. I can see why so many people like to bike in this neighborhood.
