Yup, I'm glad I put my bike on the car this morning...it was nippy so I'm glad I had layers too, but so good to get out in the sun, even for a short ride.
Sounds like you've heard of Rodriguez...not too many folks have..only made/available at a great local bike shop (I got to visit my tubes and hold my newborn unpainted frame - fun!) and since the owner designed a womens frame I decided to get a custom road bike when I got hooked on riding...well worth it to have a bike that fits ME!

For another fun ride, you and your husband might want to consider heading north for the McClinchy Mile...it's on the Sat closest to St Patrick's Day next month...here's the link:

several loops beginning in Monroe, and all are beautiful and well-supported by the Everett cycling club...
Glad to hear you're planning to go to Expo...if I don't catch up w/you at Chilly Hilly, I'll be volunteering for Cascade on Sat AM at Expo, for event registrations...
Have a great weekend, Sue!
