What a weekend! With two rides over two of the passes, I saw Roslyn, Cle Elum Lake, and Leavenworth with lovely weather (aside from some rain in the mountains on Saturday). Feels like #motorcycle season is finally heating up!
Many, many more photos to come soon. #photography #photog #photos #photo
Went on an enjoyable yet rigorous #bicycle ride this morning, following a loop I always enjoy. Despite snacking on an energy bar in Lake Forest Park, I ended up bonking while riding through Lake City, so I had to stop at the Metropolitan Market in Laurelhurst. Since the energy bar didn't help, I thought to try a sugary sports drink for a quick boost, and it certainly did the trick! I guess that's why they contain so much sugar, since a low calorie drink wouldn't be so helpful when running low on energy. #cycling (Album)
While out, I noticed several booths for #BikeEverywhereDay scattered about, which was pretty cool. What was less cool was that the Burke–Gilman Trail was being blocked off in the University District, and I'm still not sure why. #seabikes #Seattle
Checked out the partially gravel #bicycle route along the shore of Union Bay yesterday. The relative quiet and scenery were quite nice! #cycling #seabikes (Album)
While riding back home through Fremont, I saw that the #Seattle Fire Department was fighting a fire in an old house a little up the hill, which explained the smell of smoke everywhere. I asked my local bike shop about it and they said that it was a training exercise paired with a controlled demolition.
Our return home featured not only a very long ferry ride, but also @clover 's first time driving in snow! Things went pretty smoothly the whole way home, nonetheless, as we stopped by the towns of #Anacortes and #LaConner. We also made a quick stop at the Seattle Premium Outlets in Marysville so @clover could look at shoes. (Album)
Finally got around to tagging and uploading all of the photos from the trip to the San Juan islands that @clover and I went on back in February. #photography #photog #photos #photo #Washington #WashingtonState #PugetSound #SanJuanIslands
Our last full day in the islands was on Lopez, which was by far the quietest one. Not only did we see few cars on the road, we only found a few restaurants even open! The beautiful island scenery certainly made up for the lack of food options. Our dinner and stay were at the Lopez Islander, which was very cozy. (Album)

For many years, I've been dealing with #bikefit problems. Even after seeing many fitters, it was only after I used the services of Footworks Cycles that I was put on the right path, and after some more time of riding and figuring out what to do when, I finally have a perfect fit on this bike!
The funny thing is that the 109% rule ended up matching up with my final saddle height here. I guess this sort of rule works well for a lot of people, even me! #cycling #bicycle
Our next day was spent on Orcas Island, which gave us even more beautiful sights around Mount Constitution and Moran State Park. Even our accommodations were nice at Pebble Cove Farm, which even had farm animals roaming about! (Album)
When we showed up, I went into the main house, only to find that it was actually a private residence, and that it was being house sat by someone who was as confused as we were. I'll never forget that awkwardness…

After a rough time getting out there (it was @clover 's first long drive, after all), and a _very_long ferry ride, we had a very chill time on San Juan Island. I'd been there a couple times before over my life, but it had been yeears. We spent a lot of time around Friday Harbor, but also checked out South Beach, as well as the scenery along the way. (Album)

One of the goals I had in mind than pushed me into #motorcycle riding was easier access to Eastern #Washington roads. (I don't have as much time as I used to for doing that by bicycle.) This ride marks my first time doing so, and it was definitely worth it! I was treated to sunny weather and pine trees, which were exactly what I needed after all of the rainy days around #Seattle over the past few months. Really makes me want to move to Eastern Washington!

I had no idea the Tulip Festival was this big here! Not only did we have to try twice because traffic was too terrible the first time, even the crowds early on Sunday were large! It was really nice getting a nice ride in the countryside and seeing all of the tulips at Roozengaarde. #motorcycle
