Woodinville

-

 From RR I quickly enter onto just about the best bike riding route ever: a serene, heavily forested wilderness -- unpaved but nicely tamped dirt and no one except horse turds to avoid...! Only too short but then emerges onto the also newly discovered Tolt Pipeline trail with none but occasional walkers joining me...


& parts very steep but fortunately going down for me -- this is looking back at what I raced down!:


Then back on busy Avondale and finally rewarded -- way off the beaten track with Woodinville!:


& such a nice outside playground play area that I didn't even take any photos inside (though I did get to see Pam!) -- but how can you beat wine barrels & xylophones?!


Or the most artistic admonition to whisper (which I only just now realized how appropriate for a library..!):

Slept fitfully in anticipation of following days' two year fullfillment (choosing

 Didn't seem so very far next to the wee International District/Chinatown branch (library names replacing dashes with slashes now): with a very appropriate display of tea cups inside:

 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!
