Yesterday's Bike Ride Today

This morning, Chunlin and I took a bike ride up the Interurban Trail (more or less) to Scriber Lake in Lynnwood. Yesterday was too hot to go riding.

Without a map, we weren't always able to find the trail when it jogged back and forth, but we made it to my goal anyway. None of the various cities on the route were very good at signage. In Mountlake Terrace, for instance, they turned us off 76th Avenue, but didn't tell us where to turn back north. We made it up the big hill southeastward almost back to to I-5 before we decided to turn around. Just a mile extra . . .

The city of Shoreline has done some work, with a couple bridges at Aurora.

Chunlin didn't like them (we need to take the baskets off her pedals so she can make sharp turns), so on the way back, we just headed down Meridian to home.


Here's another bit of trail we skipped on the way back. I just charged up the hill on Meridian Avenue after crossing the county line. This trail was too narrow and curvy to get a good head of steam going up or down.

In Lynnwood, just near Scriber Lake, we stopped for lunch at Espresso Buono. Good coffee.


And here's Scriber Lake:


Ducks live there.


Yay!
