Southbound 50 Mile route?

Hi,

Looking to head south for about 50 miles from North Seattle, maybe return on the light rail. Focusing on endurance, so I'd rather avoid any crazy climbs. 1,000 - 1,500 feet might be okay. Any recommended routes?

Trying to escape a sedentary lifestyle. Did my first half-century today!

Late 30s, couple cyclist family members advised me on getting a bike last Winter.

It's only been a few months but I'm totally addicted. Lately I've been putting in 80+ miles a week, ~3k feet in climbs. Cleared 50 miles today in under 3.5 hours, pretty flat. It's hard hauling 260 (formerly 270+) lbs that far!

I've already been doomscrolling but looking for some input.

Late 30s. I've now been to an optometrist 3 times ever.

Optometrist recently noted my cup to disc ratios were 3.5 and 5.5, .2 difference so right on the line of being more concerning. Low IOP, 10 and 11.

Got records from 2024, .5 and .5. Weird.

Today, I was sent a record from 2015. .3 and .5, diagnosis of pre glaucoma (I'm guessing they would say glaucoma suspect now). The optometrist did NOT tell me that verbally at the time. The clinic said they no longer have the retinal images.

So, seems like the cup to disc ratios are basically the same and the difference is the same ,if they were measured accurately. The second guy probably missed the asymmetry I guess? I'm hoping this points to congenital asymmetry. Anyone else experience this?

I'm going in for an OCT scan tomorrow.
