10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain…a 100% reason to remember the name
This is one of my favorite afternoons as it remains low key and not a lot of folks, when it gets too popular it will be too crowded for fun.
Cirque du Cycling, presented by Laughing Planet Cafe, is a street festival, a circus, a bike race and a parade
While looking into detail on National Bike Month recently I was taken to the League of American Bicyclists where I found they have a list of Bicycle Friendly Business’s and I found that one of my favorite local shops was a platinum member. Check out the Master List and remind yourself why you might wish to choose businesses who support bicyclists.
The Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) program recognizes employers’ efforts to encourage a more bicycle friendly atmosphere for employees and customers. The program honors innovative bike-friendly efforts and provides technical assistance and information to help companies and organizations become even better for bicyclists. This new initiative complements the League’s Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) program, which has been recognizing cities and towns for their bicycle friendliness since 2003.

One more picture from the Walker Kirkland Half Marathon
Well the NW Team made it to the Kirkland Half Marathon last Saturday for a break in riding.
While it was wet we had a good time and missed the 2hr target by 3 seconds which means we will be back at it next Spring at the very least. 
Rivendell Bicycle Works who built my Atlantis (disclaimer: I have wanted a Rivendell Bicycle from so long ago that while it is only a bicycle, I believe it might be special) and introduced me to thinking about cycling and realizing that my Engineering background indeed does trump bike lore by providing science, released the Rivendell Reader 43. I have enjoyed this reader, and it has informed my cycling, since before I had kids. That would mean when Grant was younger as well. Give it a read, it is always interesting and one can discuss any of the articles on your long rides, even if you ride alone.
