So, hiking just wasn't good enough for me this weekend. The weather was just too nice not to do a ride Sunday and I opted for something I called the "Tour de Alki", which just means I road around the perimeter of West Seattle.

It was about 30 miles with some (for me) grueling hills. It didn't help that my derailleur needs work, so shifting was an issue and made the hills that much more difficult. (Did I mention I did this after a 10-mile trip - on the bike - to the Apple Store earlier in the day?)

I posted a big picture [632K PNG] of the route along with some elevation information [72K PNG].

Overall it was a great ride. Awesome views and a good workout. I would recommend the route to anyone in the Greater Seattle Area.

Having trouble with the PHP/Flickr/Drupal interface for some reason, so you'll have to visit this picture set to see what happened during Mary & Tori's brief visit.
