SEATTLE — This morning (after a meeting at work) I snuck out and picked Brian Hanson up at the airport. His bike was guaranteed a place on Continental 167 out of Houston Bush-Intercontinental this morning, but Brian was flying standby. As it turned out, there was room for him as well, so both bike and rider arrived in Seattle around 10:30 AM.
We stopped and had lunch with Karen & John Gilbreath at the Red Door in Freemont. Since I’m (semi) officially on vacation now, we decided to have some beer with lunch. Mmmmm Beeer. Once we got to the house we turned on stage 10 of the Tour de France and Brian took little nap (right)…
My training has been going quite well of late. On Sunday I tried to do an easy spin up to Edmonds as a follow-up to Saturday’s big ride. It turned out to include a lot more climbing than I had hoped, but I felt great nonetheless.
Sunday 7/9/06 Stats:
Time: 1:41:52
Max Speed: 43.8
Avg. Speed: 12.22
Distance: 20.75
After taking Monday (7/10) off, I rode my bike to work yesterday and felt great. This ride is just over 9 miles each way and is a wonderful way to get in a hour and half of riding earch day.
I was going to ride again today, but logistics worked out such that this wasn’t in the cards. This afternoon we’ll enjoy some quality garage time putting Brian’s bike together and shooting the bull.
