So, I wanted to take my bike ride today, too keep that blue line on the upward angle, and I'm pretty darn bored with the Burke-Gilman, so instead I
rode down the Ravenna hill,
took the B-G through UW,
cut down to the Montlake bridge,
went across the bridge and into the neighborhoods,
found the Arboretum entrance,
rode around the Arboretum,
cut across to Eastlake,
came back over the U bridge,
went across 45th as if I were going to the comic book store near Pudge Bros,
decided 45th was too yucky and cut north on Latona,
came down 65th and made a loop on Ravenna Blvd,
and came home.
All that wiggling around didn't net me much over ten miles. I clearly need some new routes. So, since this group is good, if anything, for dispensing free advice, I put it to you: where the heck can I ride? Pick some spots that are about 7.5 miles from the RD, so I can have a destination, go there and come back, and hit about 15 miles. I'd like to avoid really heavy traffic, but what the heck.
Any ideas?
*Until the middle - then he's running out!

There's a technique called "doughnuts" that auto specialists use to add miles to a car in a short period of time. It involves finding an open space, like a parking lot, and driving in a circle until you puke. If you did this with your bicycle you could build both your muscular stamina AND your intestinal stamina! See how fast you can go! Then turn around and blaze a doughnut in the OTHER direction! With enough practice in secret, you could open your own Tour De Donuts competition and kick Lance Armstrong's ass!
um...
