Coffeeneuring Week 5 The weather finally changed from "good" to "awful" this morning for the ride this week. The effect was to dramatically reduce the number of riders this week (from about 11 to 2)! Thanks to Wendy for joining as otherwise this would have become a solo ride. We shortened the planned 30 mile / 1800 feet ride route to about 10 miles and negligible elevation although we still had heavy rain and big winds during the ride! [We are also filing for Rule #9 Style Points]. Double espressos hit the spot today. Stayed on the Sammamish River Trail to avoid cars, slippery downhills, etc. - we did notice that the few trail users out and about in this muck were a) very dedicated to their activity (running, biking, dog walking, etc); and, b) generally pretty cheerful to be out and about in this stuff. We went to the Starbucks at 15738 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA.
