Hiya waterlilli...(up in the tulip fields, eh?)

It was an all-around terrific day - weather was spectacular, about 4,000 riders, no rain gear necessary, low traffic volumes, and welcoming islanders (lots of roadside stands with kids selling gatorade, etc).
The ride lived up to its name as well as reputation as a cycling classic; all in all a great start to a hoped for terrific season!

There's a good one that is held annually up your way by the Skagit bike club...a few loops out of Burlington in early May. Have you done that one?
