Cycling along the Sammamish River

Just as I was settling into my work routine this morning, our friend PJ called to propose a bike ride along the Sammamish River Trail. Reflecting on all the sun and fun we both missed out on last summer, I had to go for it. The weather couldn't have been nicer - mid-70's, sunny, with a slight breeze to help ventilate. Lots of folks were out with the same idea on such a gorgeous weekend, but the crowds thinned out as we made our way toward the wineries. Just before the sod farms we rode by a model air field where enthusiasts were launching their non-motorized planes. It was the first long ride of the season, so we took an easy pace to build up our "bicycle butts." What an awesome way to start the weekend.
