Way cool, thanks for the report.

We drove along Chuckanut Drive a few years back and it seemed like it would be great to ride it. And Bellingham is on the short list of places we'd like to relocate, someday.

I grew up in Bellingham. My parents live just off that road right along the border (nice pic!).

Can't wait to do RSVP!

Fun times! Thanks for the report and photos.

I love our tandem but no way do I want to sit on it for that many miles. Kudos to you.

What fun! Thanks for posting the stories and pix.

You've helped me make up my mind, too. I have a beautiful Bianchi, like those in the picture. I noticed that one of them had the matching blue/green bottle cages. I've secretly wanted those, but thought it kind of silly...I have a gift cert to the LBS, and I'm getting the matching cages! :D

the amazing thing about it is I am not that stiff or sore. I confess I haven't ridden since Saturday though.

Looks pretty - maybe next year I'll skip STP and do RSVP instead.

WOW Mimi!

How great was that tour!!!! I've done just one many years ago and loved it; I am SO envious :D Your pictures are just beautiful and they make me want to go up right now and sign up for the next one ;)

You and DH did a great job and I loved reading your report; thank you SO much for sharing it!

you do have to sign up for this ride early, it sells out very quickly.
This year they allowed an extra 600 or so people on it, which made for longer
lines and stuff; but nothing like STP!

Thanks for the great pics and narration. Many congratulations for a ride well done! :D What a pretty ride it is. Watch out for those Redmond clubers though, they might convince you to do RAMROD next year. ;)

I just got back from a couple nights at MT. Rainier. We actually passed a couple cyclists headed towards Paradise. We hiked the Skyline but didn't ride. There is scant to no shoulder on the way up. I can't imagine how the cyclists do it there. The North Cascades is much wider in comparison.
