Day 12: 30 Days of Biking | Bears!

Earlier in the week I'd considered riding to work today, but I've got too much on my plate right now to spend three hours today riding. I still wanted to get out, so I went out a bit before sunrise this morning as it was getting light outside.

My first stop out was the post office, then out of town via the hill up past the bears.
Watch out, bears!
There was a fantastic view of Mt. Rainier from the hilltop, with the clouds and the sunrise, but too many trees obscuring the mountain to really even try to get a picture of it. Plus the phone doesn't do all that great at a distance like that.

Riding around via 133rd, though, coming back down there's another great view of the mountain so I couldn't resist giving it a shot. The picture doesn't come anywhere close to capturing the feeling of that massive mountain  rising up into the pink clouds.

Mt. Rainier
It looks small in the photo, but in person it is the most eye-catching feature around. I think I'd have to paint it to try and capture the detail necessary. Or get a better camera!

Nice ride, nice loop this morning!
