Here are some pictures from Kayaking on Lake Sammamish .

I have been doing a lot of it, but mostly on the lake. The river trips are far fewer owing to the fact that only recently I have started getting the understanding of the balance required to keep you abover the water (versus under it.) Also, my Roll seems to have gotten much better. I have not had to bail out of the kayak in a couple weeks while doing rolls. Must have been close to a hundred rolls without bailing out. I think I should start trying rolling on the other side. They say, rolling on the other side is akin to learning rolling all from scratch.

Here is how a Kayak roll looks like:

Here is the trip up on Cougar Moutain that S and I took on our bikes. It was undoubtedly the hardest bike trip I have ever taken. The climb up was torturous. About 1200ft in about 3 miles. S being leaner, fitter went up the mountain much easier than I did. I did make it however to the top. It took a bit more time than S and it took a bunch of getting downs and pushing the bike, but I finally did. The trip down was coasting with a lot of braking though.
