 SOOOOO,  two years after my last library bike ride visit, I finally commit to bicycling to the last and farthest of the King County Library System branches, Skykomish! Leaving home early on a Monday morning... & riding to Northgate for light rail ride to UDub stadium for 2 buses, first to Redmond where I got to revisit library with its oh-so-appropriate old bike race photos & children's mural over to Duvall with a friendly greeting from Ronni & staff & then off I go, first over scary shoulderless bridge and road to W. Snoqualmie Valley Road, a comparatively easy flat (though still mostly shoulderless) 10 mile rural ride into Monroe Not much going on here on a Monday night except for a brutal massage (neck is my body part that hurts the most from bike riding!), a middle eastern meal and lots of silly tv at highway 2 bordering hotel room -- & next to roaring railroad tracks too. Slept fitfully in anticipation of following days' two year fullfillment (choosin...

Penultimate North Bend!

 So, now I only need to descend down steep wide sidewalks under the near shadow of Mt. Si,  and then turn east on busy 202, and as I come into North Bend how nice that there are multiple signs proclaiming "Library" for me, and here I arrive! & how lovely here is Julie inside  and yes, she certainly could help me as to where the bus stop is  and I found the main drag for a bakery quick stop before jumping on the hour-long bus ride (along with a gold prospector!) retracing my steps back to my car in Issaquah..... & that, folks, is library #49!!!! I only have Skykomish left -- will I ever make it there? We shall see but there is at least one more blog post to go....(!)
