45.2 Miles

Yesterday, I got to go on an awesome bike ride. It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and there was a warm breeze. I had been planning to go around the south-end of Lake Washington for quite sometime now, and I decided that this was the time to do it. All was well until I realized that I had forgotten the one thing I wanted to remember. My sunglasses; it was already too late to go back for them, so I decided that I would just have to live with bloodshot eyes for the next few days.

Around Seward Park, I rode right into a swarm of bees and by the time I came out of the swarm, I had about 100 of them all over me and in my helmet. I stopped a safe distance away from the swarm, and proceeded to brush the bees off of me and out of my hair. They were honey bees, and still very capable of stinging, but believe it or not, I never got stung.

The Renton Airport/Boeing Plant was pretty cool. As I was riding around it, I saw them painting the side of an airplane with the words “RYANAIR”. I thought that was pretty cool, so I tried to grab a picture of it, but my phone camera didn’t have good enough resolution to see the words. Anyway, I have included some pictures from my trip. The only other thing that is worth mentioning is the bike tunnel that I found over I-90. I didn’t even know it existed, but it is pretty cool (see the picture below and see for yourself).
