This Saturday was another 40 mile ride. We started at Mercer Island, rode south along Lake Washington, back up the other side and across the I-90 bridge to Mercer Island where we rode around the southern half of the island. The weather was perfect for a bike ride. Coming across the bridge the water was so peaceful to look at. There were several hills on the ride, some of which I walked up. Coming down to the bridge on the Seattle side I took a tumble but luckily did not hurt myself. I more or less landed on my camelback and the water cushioned me. I definitely was tired at the end of the ride.

That afternoon I babysat with Nicholas. Brian broke his arm the day before and was in the hospital. Debbie had spent the night there with him and not gotten any sleep so Yangguang went to stay with Brian, Debbie came home to sleep and I watched Nicholas.

Today I went riding with a friend on the Foothills Trail. We rode about 20 miles. The weather was again beautiful. Quite a difference from last week when it poured rain.
