Let's Bike SR 520 Trail - Seattle to Velodrome
For my first big video of 2018, I decided to ride the entire SR 520 Trail from its western end in Seattle all the way to Redmond and the velodrome in Marymoor Park. I want to show how convenient it is to get from one end to the other.
The SR 520 Trail runs 11.1 miles alongside State Road 520 from the Seattle end of the Evergreen Point floating bridge to the Sammamish River Trail in Redmond. It is a paved trail that is street-free except for a 1.3 mile bike lane section in Bellevue and has rolling hills. Of course, at the end is Marymoor Park which features the Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome, a cycling racetrack with banked curves that just has to be seen (and ridden, as you will see in my pathetic attempt).
The trail provides direct access between the cities of Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond. Bike routes and trails that connect or run close to the SR 520 Trail include: Lake Washington Loop, Burke-Gilman Trail, Cross Kirkland Corridor, Bridle Crest Trail, Sammamish River Trail, Redmond Central Connector, Marymoor Connector, West Lake Sammamish Trail/Parkway Bike Route, East Lake Sammamish Trail, and Bear Creek Trail.
The SR 520 Trail also runs through the heart of Microsoft's headquarters and past the campus for Nintendo of America (I've always been a Nintendo fan).
Overlays and animations were created by me using Adobe Flash, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Final video was created in iMovie.
3D map flyover was created using Google Earth Pro.
All pictures were taken by me with my iPhone 6S on January 1, 2018.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Little League Baseball World Series is an annual baseball tournament in the eastern United States for children aged 10 to 12 years old. Originally called the National Little League Tournament, it was later renamed for the World Series in Major League Baseball. The Series was first held 72 years ago in 1947 and is held every August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. (Although the postal address of the organization is in Williamsport, the Series itself is played at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium at the Little League headquarters complex in South Williamsport.)
Initially, only teams from the United States competed in the Series, but it has since become a worldwide tournament. The tournament has gained popular renown, especially in the United States, where games from the Series and even from regional tournaments are broadcast on ESPN. The United States collectively as a country has won a plurality of the series, although from 1969 to 1991 teams from Taiwan dominated the series, winning in 15 out of those 23 years. Taiwan's dominance during those years has been attributed to a national effort to combat its perceived diplomatic isolation around the world. From 2010 to the present, teams from Tokyo, Japan, have similarly dominated the series, winning five of the last nine matchups.
While the Little League Baseball World Series is frequently referred to as just the Little League World Series, it is actually one of twelve tournaments sponsored by Little League International, in twelve different locations. Each of them brings community teams from different Little League International regions around the world together in baseball (five age divisions), girls' softball (four age divisions), and boys' softball (three divisions). The tournament structure described here is that used for the Little League Baseball World Series. The structure used for the other World Series is similar, but with different regions.
