Guess What?
I have registered for the Flying Wheels Summer Century in Redmond that takes place this Saturday, the 18th. 100 miles on a bike with 1500+ other ppl. :) Should be interesting. I will be ridding it with two of my good friends, Micah and Dominic. I am feeling pretty confident about it tho. Why you ask? Well, last Saturday the three of us went on an 82 mile ride which took 6.25 hours. We left from Snohomish and road down to the Burke-Gilman Trail in Woodinville, then to Redmond and off to Issaquah, next we attacked the I-90 corridor and landed ourselves in downtown Seattle and headed back up to Snohomish through Bothell. It was a long, but very fun ride. The only downside was that the last two hours of it were in poring rain and the temperature dropped to below 50 deg. We had a blast though and we are looking forward to this Saturday. This will be my first official bike ride with numbers and staff and lots and lots of ppl.
But it doesn't end there. I have also signed up for the STP (Seattle to Portland) ride that takes place on July 9th and 10th, well just the 9th for us. We are going to do it in one day. Probably 14+ hours starting at 4:45 am. 200 miles.....yup...its going to be a long day. But I am committed and ready for it. :)
Have a great day.

So awesome, Doug!
Can't wait to see you after the event and find out how it went!! :)
I've always wanted to bike ride in events like that. Maybe I should give it try. I'd have to work up to it though.
Good luck.
So how was the ride? I can't wait to read all about it. Ris
