Somewhere on the web, perhaps the RAGBRAI website, I found a comment by a cyclist who said that, if a biker can ride 40 miles a day, for 3 days in a row, without too much fatigue, then he or she is ready for RAGBRAI. So that's my goal. 40 miles a day, 3 days in a row. I'm not there yet. But in Seattle, I have to keep riding all winter, to reach that goal.
Yesterday--a picture:
On the way from Lake Union, north, up the hill, to Wallingford--
Red leaves falling,
Yellow leaves falling,
Rain falling--
A cascade of color and light.
The ride was beautiful, and not too cold, despite the huge amount of water and soggy clothing. So yes, I've figured out how to ride in the rain (although it turns out that things such as little rocks and small ridges of asphalt or contrete are a bit more slippery than they are when it's dry). And I was lucky that my really rainy ride was a reasonably warm day, around 50 degrees.
Total mileage: 19.4
