Seattle Century?
To disable ads, please log-in.
Hi,
Anyone planning to ride this? It's this Saturday and I heard good things about last year's edition.

Neither of us--we both have other events later in the week to "save up" for.
MM, are you joining us on Cycle the Wave in September?"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

Hey there - Nope, I cannot, as it conflicts with my NYC-DC ride; also, I plan to add time on the East coast, so that I can visit family and friends in the Northeast, before the ride starts in NYC and then post-ride in the D.C., MD, VA area too.

Oh, that's right about the AIDS ride--I knew that. Ms. Peabrain here.
Chris is doing RAMROD. I would only do RAMROD if we slung my bike in the back of a pickup truck and drove it! I have another sprint triathlon, though, on Saturday August 1, at Blue Lake Park near Portland. Poor Chris gets to do RR, and then get up the next day to go to Portland with me."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

yep, the AIDS ride - for which you've already been such a generous sponsor!
Ugh, I feel for Chris - f'sure he loves you BIG-time to haul his RAMROD body outta bed to head to Portland with/for you! Whattaguy! M quickly adds: you're worth it though, kiddo!
Good energy, legs and tailwinds to him, then to you too - have tons o' fun!Last edited by MM_QFC!; 07-21-2009 at 01:29 PM.

He's the best.
So are you doing this Seattle Century? If so, will like to hear about it."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

I'd give it a thumbs up
. Good rest stops, good food, beautiful course. A little tricky to follow at times, but well worth it.
