Do you think the Dan Henry's would show the way well enough for someone to do this ride solo in the next couple weeks...without having a route sheet?

Loved your recap and the tale of the potties Mimi. Glad you had a good chilly hilly too!
Oh yes Starfish the Dan Henrys will be there for quite sometime!

Undoubtedly the Dan Henrys will last for a while, but you can get the cue sheet and map too if you would like it, free of charge as a PDF from Cascade's web site, just go to this page

Eden, Susan, thanks. This is one of those rides I have always wanted to do, but have not wanted to brave the crowds. Sounds like a route that will help with Climbing Club numbers!

here are photos!
no, the roads are not sandy. They are in better condition than Seattle's roads.
We did lots of scary turns with great traction.Last edited by mimitabby; 02-25-2008 at 06:33 AM.

Hey Mimi, I was browsing through my pictures and found one I took 3 years ago I believe on my last Chilly Hilly. It will give people an idea of what a ton of bikes on the ferry would look like . . .
I KNOW THAT HILL! I've made it every time I rode! It's crazy! One year I had to pass people by going over the yellow lines onto the other side (very quickly) to get around them! Great shot!!!!!!!!!

those photos are taken by Seattle PI and Seattle Times photographers.

note the walker in my second picture who didn't have the sense to get out of the way!!!!

I though about all you Chilly Hilly riders yesterday! I wish I had gone! It looks and sounds like it was a fun ride this year.
Yes, I see that person behind number 2633! That was one of the most frustrating things for me when I rode in the chilly hilly; the number of "novice" riders who did not know the rules of biking on the road.
