MS 150 this weekend!

[Susan126]

My daughter and I are riding this weekend in the MS 150 in La Conner! We are heading up to Mount Vernon tomorrow after work. The whole gang is going. Hubby Joe, son Aaron (our support team) and Jackie and me! I will give an after ride report with pictures!

AND IT looks like it is going to be a BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND! Wooooooo Hoooooo!

I hope everyone here will be out on their bikes too. Enjoying this "Indian Summer" weekend!

Hi

It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend. You all will have a great ride and I'll be there in spirit! I'm headed down to the beautiful town of Federal Way for the Subaru/Reebok tri. I had been having my fingers crossed about the weather....whew!

I can't wait to hear about how your ride goes.

Um, perhaps I'll see you in the beer garden? I'm riding with friends from work, in honor of a friend with MS, who agreed to be our team mascot! Look for the chick with a green Cannondale, blue Novara team jersey, and red helmet! (the one with two cups of beer in her hand post-ride).

Be safe and have a good ride!

Wow, what an awesome weekend and ride! Trickytiger wasn't it great? The first day's course was hilly! But beautiful. We crossed over Deception Pass. We had motorcycle escorts! I felt like I was in the Tour! LOL The second day was flat, mainly through La Conner. But we had a great time. I had to post this quickly before going to work. More details to come later! Just awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone else in this area got out and enjoyed the sunshine!

Oh, it was So. Much. Fun! PERFECT weather, good people, good times! The first day is definitely a tougher ride- more rolling hills and rough pavement- but you're right, it's a special treat to ride over Deception Pass sans cars! The second day was much smoother, except for the brisk headwind going north and the fact that lunch was 50 miles in- but I love love loved it. Unfortunately, some teenage jerks assaulted me and my friend by throwing bottles at us from their car (she got hit and nearly crashed going 22mph ), but I heard the police found 'em (thanks MS course marshals!), and I suppose Daddy won't be letting Junior drive his car any more. We tried to catch the little pricks and nearly caught up (top speed: close to 30), but I suppose it's better that we didn't get them. I don't need a police record for beating up some kids.

All in all, a great weekend and a good cause. I'll be back next year!

Glad you enjoyed so much Susan and TT

Susan I just had to post and say that your ride with your daughter... well, that type of ride is one of the things that keeps me hooked on cycling. I really enjoying going for rides - training or events - with my children.
Very precious

I'm sorry about the teenage jerks TT! But I am glad they got caught!

I did a little write up about my weekend at my blog. But here are a few pictures I would like to share of the event.
