Last year we spent a half an hour stuck on that !@#$#!$ viaduct and it was almost another half an hour to make it the rest of the way. This year the viaduct is closed and I am expecting it to be much worse. I'm almost tempted to drop off the bags the night before and then ride in from magnusen park.

What time did you hit Spanaway, Zoo Zoo? That safeway sounds like a good idea. The offical food stop was passing out mangled wrap thingies that did not agree with my stomach.
