#WeekWithoutDriving Day 3: Biked 8.5 mi for an all-day meeting. Delighted to see another bike parked out front when I arrived. Later I'll ride to Olympia Center for a class, then home.

Again had bike lanes for nearly 100% of my route. Thank you City of Olympia! And Tumwater too.

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 1: Biked to downtown Olympia for a meeting, then later I'll ride to HQ for work, to Olympia Center for a class, and home.

Edited to add: Had bike lanes for the vast majority of my route. Even "just paint" helps when the network is connected and drivers expect you. Yay for abundant bike racks in downtown Olympia too!

Day 20 #30DaysOfBiking: Rode sweep for my neighborhood group participating in the Earth Day Market Ride. Absolutely gorgeous day in the morning for it! http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/04/20/earth-day-market-ride-2024/

Day 19 #30DaysOfBiking: Sunny ride to the farmstand again. Absolutely LOVE our neighborhood location! Parks, water, farms, good bakery, my doctor offices and downtown all an easy walk or bike ride. It's a 15-minute city by bike-- well, 17 to the doc, farther to my hairdresser, but all bikeable or I could take transit 5 minutes from my front door. So lucky!

Day 12 #30DaysOfBiking: Rode home via Wayside Vegan Cafe in downtown Olympia, where I stopped for some delicious takeout.
Day 13: A quick helmet-free jaunt to the nearest Little Free Library to drop off a couple of books. Love this one; it's called Barbara's Book Barn and it's on my route to Squaxin Park. Breeze in my hair was awesome too.

#Coffeeneuring #7 for reals this time, and a great finish it was. Met up with Stefanie Randolph, who was on my first coffeeneuring ride of this year. Biked to pick up some paint, stopped at Bar Francis for our coffee beverages, then biked to my house where she helped me paint two rooms. Very happy with the day and so happy to have such a great friend! 7.53 miles in sun and in drizzle.

#Coffeeneuring #6: Waited for the morning rain to stop, headed out in breezy fall sunshine for errands and a stop at the Owl's Nest in downtown Olympia for a pumpkin spice latte. Fall riding is so delightful! So many beautiful colors. Plan it right and I don't have to #RideInTheRain just because it's November.

Did a write-up of last Saturday's Olympia Earth Day Market Ride, with a shoutout to local transit agency Intercity Transit for actually PAYING STAFF TIME to organize annual bicycle community (not just commuting) challenge and events like this. http://bikestylespokane.com/2023/04/23/biking-in-olympia-earth-day-market-ride/ #EarthDay #EarthDayMarketRide #BikeOLY #Olympia #OlyWA #BikeTooter #FromWhereIRide #BikeLife #BikeJoy #BikeLove #cycling #IntercityTransit
