A Thanksgiving haiku:

Achievement unlocked
Postprandial somnolence
Happy Thanksgiving!

His lips got tired trying to sound out the big words.

Biking somewhere between Winlock and Centraliia, WA.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Jim Lovell.

Exiting the Snoqualmie Tunnel on the east side (Hyak).

Same, batteries. Same.

Happy 16th birthday, Shiner!

Riding along the Molalla River southeast of Portland.

Have you tried SugarBee? They're my current fav. (No shade against Cosmic Crisp -- those are really good, too!)

I've often said there are two things that will send most vehicle drivers into an incandescent rage:

* Bicycle riders who don't follow 100% of the rules to the letter 100% of the time.

* Other vehicle drivers who DO follow 100% of the rules to the letter 100% of the time.

Daffodils are just starting to bloom. Tulips need another two or three weeks (and some warmer weather). This valley will be a riot of color this time next month.

It's life in the Pacific NorthWET!

It was a mixed bag. No rain as we gathered at the start, then then rain hit just as we started (because of course it did). We had intermittent rain showers through the morning until about 2:00pm-ish when the skies opened up. Then we got drenched. We looked like drowned rats at the finish!

One of my Facebook randonneuring buddies created a challenge several years ago -- The Rides of March. The general idea is simple: Ride at least an hour a day during March. The rules are slightly more complex, but that's the general idea.

I misread that as "Great #cycling over to Seattle this morning".

The photos look like they could be from the greater Seattle area, and the weather looks spot-on. Then I checked the Strava link.

Looks like a great ride!

A common mistake. Cars don't buy stuff, people do.
