    Congrats on toughing out your ride!

    Was the grill involved in the accident?

    that is part of the mystery. by the way we were in a posse of 9 cyclists, 5 women, 4 men, a statistical oddity in the world of Randonneuring. We wanted to ask the cop that very thing but he was busy saying "REALLY"

    What a ride you had yesterday! I'm happy that you toughed it out and finished Mimi! Congratulations on number 6! I may start over in July. I was thinking of waiting until the fall but I've been feeling much better and the FW ride on Saturday gave me a positive feeling that I am on my way back.

    What route was this again so I know not to do it. I hate hwy 99 especially the Seatac area! I love the back roads and quiet scenic lanes!

    It's 1132. More than one person said they'd never do it again. Donald said it over and over and over.
    It seems to me that anyone familiar with the area would have made different choices and god help someone who had never ridden there. Crossing from the HOV lane to Des Moines Way on 99 is not for the timid, let me tell ya.

    PS I look forward to riding with you again, and so does Teri.

    Congrats on #6! Sorry the ride wasn't quite what you were hoping for. The grill at the scene of the accident cracks me up. I really wonder how it's involved.
    Congrats on toughing out your 129K. There's almost nothing worse than doing a ride that's longer than it should be. You're a stud, tho, that's for sure!
