DuPont and Nisqually (2014-06-07)

My original plan for this ride was to only go to DuPont, until I realized how it wasn't far enough.

Last Saturday: 150 miles. #cycling https://t.co/jBMA16mNWg

Oso (2014-05-31)

I was curious about how things were after the landslide, so I headed in that direction.

Even though I went further than I've been going (142 miles), it took less time due to fixing pedaling style. https://t.co/P5hveLI5Y9

Bozeman (May 2014)

A little visit to the city of Bozeman and its vicinity.

The map below shows some hiking, some walking, and some cycling in addition to destinations reached via short road trips (easily noticeable by waypoints not connected by lines).

Unlike my cycling blog posts, this one will be more of a summary than an in-depth story.

Carbon and Green Rivers (2014-05-17)

I probably should've turned the difficulty down after first switching to clipless pedals.

Last Saturday's ride: 135 miles. #cycling https://t.co/jZzlfIOUVh

Due to the pain from last week, I converted to clipless pedals, making this the first long ride with them.

Tacoma and Graham (2014-05-10)

It's a lot of fun connecting known corridors in unexpected areas.

Throughout the ride, I was dealing with the pegs of those beefy pedals of mine causing some serious pain in the soles of my feet. See the epilogue for details.

Mt. Si and Snoqualmie Valley (2014-04-12)

This ride was rather difficult for a few reasons, but the heckling by motorists didn't help.

Yesterday: 141 miles, many of them in the upper foothills. https://t.co/0L8Uc1YVFd #cycling
