Bainbridge Island cycle

While Karen was listening to oompah bands and downing steins of beer in Germany, I took myself off to Bainbridge Island for the day on Saturday for a bike ride through the autumn foliage.
It's the venue each year for a ride called 'the Chilly Hilly' and while the day was fresh and sunny, the hills were every bit as steep as I'd heard - massive roller-coaster roads up and down the island. There was a lovely stretch by the Sound, looking back to Seattle and over to the Olympic Peninsula, including this old fort, guarding the approach to Bremerton. A great day out...
