Headed out from Issaquah to the hill by Cougar Mtn Zoo. Over Lakemont down into Coal Creek. Headed back via Cedar Grove and Tiger Mtn Road.

Weather: Was still really chilly especially in the foothills. Started out in Fall City and headed out towards Snoqualmie Falls for some hills. Out to North Bend and back.

This week's lesson learned comes from Nikki: If the weather is cold and raining, pack an extra pair of gloves in a ziplock and put hot packs in them at the beginning of the ride. Also, if your saddle feels like you are sitting on someone else's seat, get off the bike and look at it.
