Up The Hills & down The Valley

[Jonz_imp]

This AM helped my mom (89yrs old-30 more than me) with a few chores, then after lunch a 100 mile or so ride. I-5 to I-90 heading east (only eastward from Seattle) across Lake Washington on one of the 2 floating bridges. Traffic was thin and speed was easy. I stopped short of the pass,which is only 60 miles from downtown, to see if any of the side roads lead anywhere interesting. Mostly they didn't, but that's because I wasn't interested in riding gravel roads today. I did find a few that were paved and explored a little. Took some pics. On the way home I took the cut-off that would take me over the north end of the lake. North Bend-Snoqualmie-Carnation-Duval-Woodinville. The Snoqualmie Valley is milk cow country and filled with new and old farms. I love that ride and was happy that it was breezy enough that the smell wasn't an issue. Got back before rush hour!
