We're free and clear into fall, that's for sure. And I have finally given up on summer and resigned myself to another fall and winter. World Championships of cycling are over, baseball playoffs are here, cyclocross is more than a month into it, and now that the leaves have been coming down for over a month I have to give in and embrace the season.I like fall although its not as in-your-face over here in Seattle as it is on the east side of mountains. The shorter and generally wetter days I don't like, but today was the kind of day in Seattle that can ease you into the idea the winter is on the way. The sky was deep blue, the sun was bright although warmth distant, but the cool crisp air felt great and made you look forward to all the hearty pumpkin products... pumpkin lattes, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin ales.
The three of us started our day together by hitting the u-district farmers market after breakfast, then Kian and I set off from there on our own for a day of adventuring via the bicycles. I pulled the chariot but once we reached Woodland Park Kian mounted his Scoot. We parked the bikes outside and spent a couple hours trekking around the zoo, awesome day for it. Then we headed to Greenlake on our way home and spent a couple hours playing and riding around the lake.
We parked our bikes here and headed into the Farmers Market.
And along with the double baked chocolate almond croisants,we found these very cool shrooms to photograph.
At the Zoo:
Lots of monkeying around.
Enough of this monkey business, let's get down to bikey busy-ness.
Parting Shot:
A day at the races: A couple weeks ago just prior to my race at Starcrossed.
