Thank you

I am liking the looks of the Chuckanut Century and the cause is certainly good. Anyone who knows DH knows that starting and ending at a brewery is a definite selling point.

I am very unfamiliar with the area. How long does it take to get there? Is it better to stay there the night before? Are all the loops relatively flat or is one flatter than the other? (ie which one is recommended?) We've decided that neither of us would probably be ready for a century but a metric or 70 mile would be perfect.

Mary, it would be SO great if you could ride by then!!! Knot, I got the impression you were out for the Danskin (could it be the mention of selling your wetsuit?!) but this ride would be fun.

Salsa, yours looks good too. I'd almost be game for both though one week before Danskin might make me nervous. I'm not sure if people taper for sprint tri's but a big ride might be excessive I'll have to look up to see where Tenino is.
