After a year of knee problems from riding, and a failure to diagnose the problem myself, I finally scheduled a fitting with Bike Gallery on Sandy. The fitting took about 2 hours, and included tweaking my pedals, shoes, seat/post, and stem, but today’s ride was awesome. I got to work in almost record time without knee pain, and I was comfortable.
Also, it was just in time for next week’s Bike to Work Day festivities.
Michelle, my parents, a group of friends and I all rode a lengthy 90ish miles this weekend. Saturday we rode from Lynnwood to Edmonds, ferried Edmonds to Kingston, rode Kingston to outside Port Townsend, and spent the night. The next day we rode in to PT, ferried to Keystone (on Whidbey Island), rode south to Clinton, ferried from Clinton to Mukilteo, and rode from Mukilteo uphill back to Lynnwood. The route and the ride were awesome. John has more.
Ella is doing the 2-shuffle version of crawling, but she’s not letting that get in the way of her mobility. It’s kind of scary. A lot of fun, but scary too.
So I’m in charge of the adding news headlines from the day Ella was born to her baby book but I’m having difficulties. Michelle says headlines like “20 pilgrims killed by sniper” and “First CIA Civilian Contractor Convicted for Assaulting Detainee” are not something that belong in a child’s book. She’s happy with “Italian hail storm threatens pesto stock” though, but there really wasn’t much else good or amusing going on in the news that day other than sports. Maybe I need to pick up the Weekly World News.
