burning off the turkey and bourbon
I have a painful little loop that pushes in and around West Seattle that I enjoy doing in my free time. That seems to be less and less these days, but I managed to fit a ride in this last Sunday. After what turned out to be an “epic” Thanksgiving (in all definitions of the word), I really needed to confuse my body with some excercise. I grabbed the Boxer and hit the road.
If you joined us on our 100K permanent this last summer, you might recognize some of the roads. This should let you know that I didn’t just torture you for fun… I torture myself for fun too.

The leg crusher... I hate this hill so much

Most of the ride has wonderful views
The Wall
The west end of West Seattle

Hipster.
Can you make a permanent on Saturday? Greg will be sending to the list. Food and coffee for sure. He might bring a fixie to be part of the in crowd. We should get him a top tube pad for Christmas.

Aaron – If you can get your bike up here (or if we can get a working bike available once you are here), I have plenty of places I can take you riding. It is a wonderful city to bike in.

That’s an interesting looking house at the top of the wall.
