I'm not a mountain biker, but - if anybody's wanting to go mountain biking within three miles of downtown Seattle, you absolutely can!

You can bike to get there, too. His way is pretty good but he does a couple of things he doesn't need to, and he could stay on bike lanes more if he didn't. (But his cuts do make it a little shorter.)

Also, the 1 Line gets you almost all the way there.

During the huge lowland snow of 1996 I saw people skiing on 25th Ave NE near University Village and so made SKI RAVENNA PARK stickers. This is like that, but mountain biking, and full time. :D

Bummed to realize I rode 1000 less miles this year, due to injuries and pain.

Stoked to discover I offset that by hiking 750 miles after decades of struggling with pain that took me away from that. I'm saying I hiked 750 miles the first year trying to do so in at least two decades.

Overall, my elevation gain is down but I still got in 140,000 feet combined so not a complete loss. My best so far - and I've only been tracking for a handful of years now - was ~~only~~ 200,000 feet in a year.

Keep thinking I'm going to break through certain walls.
