End-of-ride photo of me on my ICE Adventure recumbent trike. I had just returned from Rattlesnake Lake, the southern limit of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. (The trail is the narrow gray stripe to the left of the parking lot.) The ride to the lake was mostly uphill. The ride back involved a lot of gentle coasting.

The blue bag on my chest contains my iPhone, leather gloves, and pruning shears. The gloves and shears were for cutting thorny blackberry vines that encroached on the trail. Thorns are not friendly to feet, faces, and tires.

Joe Tripod, supporting my Nikon D80 camera, was in "asphalt" mode for this photo.
