The biking report
Mar. 20th, 2006 09:58 amSo, yesterday's bike ride! Pretty good on the whole, aside from another small wiggy-outy bit when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird wanted to divert off the Burke-Gilman trail up to kathrynt and llachglin's house. I had gotten it into my head that surely I couldn't do it, which made me really unreasonably tense. I think this must be because a small part of my head is still kind of antsy about being on a bike, and is certain that if I do something wrong, AAAAAAH BROKEN ARM AAAAAAAH. -.- The good part anyway is that the diversion up to Q and Erik's was totally doable, which is nice to know just for knowing that I can do it, which helps shut up that antsy part of my brain.
Also, the weather was gorgeous and the ride on the trail was easier for me than I think I remember my last bike ride being, possibly just because I've been doing all this walking. And we spotted this weird-looking goose we couldn't identify hanging out with all the Canadian geese. At least we think it was a goose. It was goose-shaped and making goose-like noises, though it was a little bigger than the Canadian geese. It looked kind of like the blue-phase snow goose, except it had an extra bumpy bit on top of its beak and there was more orange around the eyes.
We stopped at the Starbuck's on the way back from Q and Erik's, and I waffled a bit about whether to continue on to Woodinville. Part of me wanted to, since I really liked being outside in the sunshine on my bike, but more of me wanted to get home and try to write something. Still, it was nice to get in even a Kenmore->Bothell->back again ride, and I'm looking forward to more biking as the weather improves.
Aside from that, the weekend mostly involved the previously-mentioned Superman kick (which madespazzkat go "YAY! I'm such an enabler" when he heard about it ^_^) and working on more HTML-conversion of lyonesse's werewolf novel. And last night I wrote like a crazy writing thing, throwing words at every single project I have in progress, both profic and fanfic. I blame this on L&C as well, since the L&C fanfic archive site totally got me in a fanfic mood. Hee.
And last but not least, I see thatyelite is stopping by to read me. Hiya!
