Walking, Biking, Working

The past week was a good one. Work cruised by relatively well and with the longer sun-lit days I get the feeling that I'm not spending the whole day sitting in front of the computer slaving away, especially if I can get a ride in after work. I took Friday off for a few reasons: I wanted to, so I could spend some time with Sabrina, and so I could head down to the local bike shop and purchase an upgrade (see the pictures).

Sabrina and her bike went to Seattle on Wednesday to spend the day and night with a friend who is going to be moving out of state here pretty soon. Sabrina and friend spent a couple days riding a popular urban trails which winds through some scenic parts of the city. When I met her at the train station she had another huge load of Asian goodies in tow. The ride back home reminded me of a Hilo night with bright stars and bags of groceries suspended from the handlebars - good times and good memories. Night rides next to the bay here are very nice. For me its hard to beat cruising next to the calm ocean during a moon-lit night with no sounds other than the hum of the bike's tires and the waves lapping the shore rocks.

Today, Sunday, Sabrina and I spent the day riding around Bellingham under the warm sun. We ate fish and chips at a local joint, relaxed, and did a little grocery shopping. It was nice to take it easy today as my legs feel like butter from riding the mountain on Friday and Saturday.

I don't have many pictures to show but take a look anyway: 4-15-07 Weekend in Pictures
