Realizing that we were going to have to compete with a little ice
and snow on the streets, we opted for an all on trail route.
|
Last week's ride was on the Interurban from Edmonds to Everett
so this week we decided to go south and try the Green River Trail.
|
This was all a good idea until we got to the ride start and
saw just how much snow and ice we would have to ride through.
|
Thus, with our bikes safely stored away we decided following
the trail on foot and by car was a much better idea.
|
Just as on sunshiny days you can see the Green River Trail
offers spectacular scenery and beauty.
|
With ice on the trail though it can be very traitorous to cycle,
especially with many bridges to go under and RR Tracks to go over.
|
Only two riders made it to the start. Several others stayed warm at home
and more still took advantage of the new snow and went skiing.
|
But we wanted to document this unusual winter day, seldom seen
in the Seattle area, so we came ahead with camera in hand.
|
Of course as you might have guessed. We were also thinking
of a nice warm breakfast with hot coffee.
