Omaha and Kouryou-chan ride

It was a beautiful autumn day, the first Sunday in October, and it being the first Sunday of the month we did our monthly supply run for freezer meat and low-perishables and stuff. The warehouse we shop at is close to the Green River, which has one of the two longest bike paths in the area.

After a breakfast of home-made crepes, which came out great (and Kouryou-chan was impressed with my ability to flip them in the air), we loaded up the bikes and drove out for a quick ride. The weather was beautiful and we had a lovely time, riding North, then back, through some of the lovelier hidden paths behind the warehouse and small office districts. I have to wonder what the people who work there think of bicyclists going back and forth all day.

Omaha suggested we try the Seattle to Portland ride some year. I suggested she was crazy. We may be avid bicyclists, but we're city and mountain riders. Marathons are a whole 'nother beast.
