Eden, that's pretty cool. If there are any races next year we can come watch, I bet a bunch of us would like to do that.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Road races are pretty notoriously boring to watch... Criteriums are more interesting, since the racers go around many times on a short loop, and there are some in Seattle, Bellevue and other close places (unlike road races, where the closest one I went to this year was in Ravensdale).

I will be attempting to do some cross racing this year - which is fun to watch, but I don't know if I'll be doing Star Crossed or not (that's at Marymoor on Sept 22 - I get the sneaking suspicion I already have something planned for that day......). Even if I'm not personally there its a fun event if you want to watch bicycle racing. Not only do you get the races, there are booths and a beer garden."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

Most excellent Eden
I always read your racing stories and reflections with interest
Great pic - you all look absolutely chuffed
Uphill TT eh? Thats tough for a big girl like me - you must've absolutely flown to be passing and catching like that. Its such a good feeling to catch those in front, eh?
KNow that there are quite a few "fans" here at TE who are basking in your reflected feelings of awesomeness... you have managed to really get out there this season and do so well.

I think you've done it before Mimi - its the 6 mile road on the left as you near the entrance to Mt. Ranier National Park that goes up to the Crystal Mt Ski Resort. Didn't your tandem race end up there? Originally Posted by mimitabby

Hi,
Congratulation on your phenominal season. 2 wins, 1st overall. Love reading about your acomplishement.
can't do a beer ride here in California. you go directly to the pokey for "driving with open container" or DUI.

ummm yeah, we have an open container law too, but everyone looks the other way for this - including all of the USAC officials... (though it is legal to be drunk on a bike, we just passed a law saying that though the police can impound your bike if you pose a danger to yourself and/or give you a citation for public drunkeness it is NOT a DUI) Also, it's not a very heavily traveled road - it dead ends at a ski area, and its summer so not too many people are headed up there this time of the year.

I got my jersey yesterday! How cool- yeah its kind of big. I couldn't keep myself from laughing hysterically when the person taking the photos asked me to put my arms up in the victory salute though
(now I want to know just what is the etiquette for wearing this.... )
