If you saw a woman with jazzy striped socks, that would have been me. Everybody commented on them.

NbyNW yes I did see Mary and I also saw Biciclista. I finished the Burly Girl course got my goodie bag then went and found FOOD . . . delicious chicken burrito and was enjoying the last bites of my meal when Mary spotted me. We chatted for a bit and then she said Biciclista just crossed the finish line! So I went over and said hello!
It was a great ride. The Burly Girl course was awesome. The last leg of it, I would say the last 18 miles was climbing. STEEP climbing. We left Cedar River rest stop entered Renton then began the climbing by first going up Washington BLVD. Like Laurel said it was the never ending climb. There was a thrilling downhill about 4 miles away from the finish that was a blast.
Weather, food, course, cyclists, support people, firemen, cheerleaders, it was all great!
I took pictures of those posters on the sanicans and of the flowers in the urinal. I'll have to post later as I'm off to work in half an hour.

Why we like this ride

Cool pics! Yes, it was great to see a few of you yesterday and it looked like a very well-organized ride. What a beautiful day you had too!
I've done a lot of those roads on the route via other events and training rides over the years and am glad that it looked and sounded like a great time was had by all...tailwinds!

This was my first organized bike ride and I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to doing more! I think it was a good ride to get started on.
