I wish I had brought my camera (2015-01-19)

I forgot my camera at home this time, so I don't really have any photos. My plan was to ride to Lake Chaplain, but I decided against it since I didn't have my camera. After I got home, I found out that the only way to access it is via gravel roads.

Since I didn't really take any photos, I only have maps from the ride. Here are some photos from the areas through which I rode, though:

Carbon and Green Valleys II (2015-01-10)

Another ride through these areas, though I was too burned out from over-exertion caused by caffeine to ride everything I had planned.

Kitsap Loop (2014-12-31)

A short ride with its main portion from Bainbridge Island to Southworth.

NOTE: It's been a week since I did this ride, so I won't remember all the details correctly.

Snoqualmie–Preston (2014-12-29)

Exploring a fairly far-out area in the Cascade Foothills.

I've been curious about how the Preston–Snoqualmie Trail ends for quite some time as there's always been a little bit of a tail past the end of the trail. As I was looking to do a ride that wasn't as long this time, this trek was perfect for doing so.

NOTE: It's been over a week since I did this ride, so I won't remember all the details correctly.

Centennial Trail II (2014-12-27)

Getting tired of rain and caffeine. Friction shifting is cool, though.

NOTE: It's been over a week since I did this ride, so I won't remember all the details correctly.

Breaking in a 'New' Bike (2014-12-20)

While riding in some horrible rain, I spent a lot of time in the first half adjusting the saddle of this bike until it was perfect. The rain also did a great job of breaking in this Brooks Swift.

This bike is actually used, but half of it is now either new, new old stock, or used from other sources.

Since it was pouring down rain all day, I didn't get to take too many photos. Some of the below albums represent the areas through which I've ridden, though.

This ride was a slightly longer version of a previous ride I was using to test out another bike for touring. This one worked out far better, of course.
