old stompin' grounds: Richmond Beach

-

 Then westward and down, down to ol' favorite Richmond Beach (closest to my home growing up)


And this after little detour to lonely curious Shoreline museum...but RB has some bucolic sculptures outside:


& inside so aquatic I was surprised to stay dry!:

 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...

Greenbridge

 Very close to White Center (and methinks, not too far from some of the SW Seattle branches I had biked to which now seemed so long ago already!) I came upon Greenbridge! Not only one of the only branches without their collection online, but also having no music CDs to check out (what sacrilege!) but also about the only branch without a bike stand outside to lock up to...! But at least one staffer inside recognized me from the occ. post about this bike venture I have been putting on the KCLS staff association facebook page!
