WAVE - ride September 18th

[Susan126]

I posted on Cycle the WAVE's facebook page regarding the Dan Henry's. I think more people should speak up too. It's a safety issue and I feel a very important one.

Yea when I crossed the finish line at the end of my ride I threw both of my hands straight up into the air and screamed woohoo for the last 200 yards or more. I don't see that picture anywhwere. And I saw the guy snapping away!

I emailed, and had this exchange last night:

From Deena:

Thanks, Deborah. I remember them as being much brighter in previous years, including rainier years. And actually the road was quite dry right up to the last five miles. Maybe it was the colors? In any case, your response is much appreciated. And we'll hope your weather mojo is workin' next year.
