…especially when one has an ebike to offset the wind.It was quite windy today but not enough to convince me to stay in…
Hehe yes exactly.Especially when one has an ebike to offset the wind.
What a beautiful place to go for a ride!
It is beautiful, hopefully things will calm down!Hehe yes exactly.
Edit: Yes the place is great I love this route. It’s mostly coastal roads and dramatic views and the gazebo on the side of the road is my usual stop and snack spot with the lovely view to boot. I wasn’t going to stay in today since it’s the first day I’m fully rested since the big earthquake here on Friday. The aftershocks have been waking me at all hours of the night Friday thru Saturday.
Inspirational post if ever I saw one, I'm so glad your recovery is going so wellNovember 1 Autumn Ride Along the Skagit River
On October 14, I was able to resume riding after the late August surgery on my left quad. That was sooner than I thought possible and most importantly there appears to be less muscle loss than anticipated. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the doctors, and medical staff for their amazing care, and to the healing power of the universe in this uncertain time.
I have been able to ride almost every day since then, although there have been a few due to weather or pain that I have sat out. In the seventeen days of October I managed to ride 338 miles so the unavoidable conclusion is that I am back. I do have to work off the extra weight I put on being idled for six weeks but I am able to ride almost as strong as before and keep up with my roady friends on group rides just fine.
Yesterday, my friend Matt and I drove down to Skagit county and up highway 20 to Concrete WA. We continued on our bikes up 20 to Rockport and then up the Sauk River, crossing over and then down the south bank of the Skagit River. It was a perfect bluebird day with temperatures in the mid sixties, not a breath of wind, cloudless sky and crystal clear. I was riding my Trek Allant+9.9s while Matt was riding his Specialized Turbo Creo. 33 miles of gorgeous ride. Today looks almost as good. Tomorrow the rain starts for four days and then bitter cold is supposed to arrive. This may be the last warm and sunny day till spring. I plan to make the best of it (which of course means a bike ride).
