I didn't have internet access yesterday, so I wasn't able to post an update. Yesterday I arrived in Seattle, and dropped off my truck with Susan Gaylor. Here's a photo of me and her. If she steals my truck, I at least have a photo. She's super generous, and gave me a ride back into Seattle and even took me on a small tour to see the Seattle Troll (picture below)
This morning, I decided to go for a ride. I'm not really familiar with the area, so I am not entirely sure where I went, but while along a bike path I saw this statue and decided to snap a photo. There are a lot of bike paths here, and you see people jogging and cycling all over the place. This is the kind of place I could retire to.
Here is a close up photo of the plaque below the statue. Sorry it's tilted, but I am too lazy to delete the photo, rotate it and repost. You can either turn your head or hold alt + shift and use the arrow keys to turn your display.
Here is the Seattle Troll. I had to wait around for a while to be able to snap a photo without a bunch of tourists in the view. It seems like a visit to the troll is a must if you're visiting Seattle.
Like I said before, you see people cycling all over the place here. I appreciate a city that appreciates cycling. Over the Freemont Bridge, there is even a meter that counts how many cyclists cross the bridge each day, and it keeps a running total for the year. This shot is from early in the morning, so the number is low. When I was coming back from dinner last night the number was nearly 3,000.
In a bit, all the riders should be here for the orientation, so I am getting really anxious to start this adventure now. Tomorrow, WE RIDE!
