I did my new conditioning hike today, up Norway Hill to the Tolt Pipeline Trail and then to the Sammamish River Trail back to where I parked, at the Bothell Park and Ride. This hike, which is just under 9 miles, is a loop (see track below) so you can park at any point along the loop. I picked the Park and Ride because, on the way back, I would avoid a generally busy bike corridor.
It has been raining every single day and today has been no exception. But there was a window of clear sky this morning so I took off. Just as I was turning the key in the ignition to drive home it started to rain. Lucky timing.
I will see if I can dodge some raindrops later this week. I am sick of not hiking and I am sicker of not hiking than I am (currently) sick of driving on freeways.
