45 miles to go 15

Today I planned a new route to work. But it was an amazing, gorgeous morning - warm, the sun was coming up, and it was just so beautiful - that when we got to I-90 (which we were supposed to ride right past), I asked Danielle if she wanted to go the very long way to work - across I-90 into Seattle, then north around Lake Washington to get back to Redmond. Of course she was game, so we ended up going 45 miles in order to go 15. It was wonderful, though, because it was mostly on paved bike trails, so I got practice in the aerobars and got jazzed from seeing all of the cyclists and runners out in the morning.

The high feeling from biking long this morning stuck with me all day. Gotta love it.
