Then I met two guys near Kent who started early too. We chatted for a bit and then I passed them. My first rest stop was the Yelm ministop just before we got on the trail (Yelm to Tenino). This is where the "fast" riders began catching me.

I just did a ride this afternoon (about an hour ago). My first ride since Saturday. I did an easy 30 miler and the first ten miles my legs felt tired but once they warmed up (around mile 9-10) they felt pretty darn good. No aches or pains, a bit stiff but I'm working that out. The ride today helped.

When we crossed that pedestrian bridge in Portland there was no traffic what so ever. It was really nice for the group I was in as we came into Portland that evening. I guess I lucked out.

Yea I got every single red light in Portland too! Just when we were moving we came to the next light and of course it turned red! All the way to the finish line!

So how are you feeling today?
