I've done Cycle the Wave every year since it started. They put on a great ride! I have to say I missed the Cedar Grove/Lake Francis Road part of the Middle Sister ride. I love that area. Otherwise, they did their usual stellar job. It is AMAZING how many volunteers they have--the Issaquah Reporter article said it's about 350, which I believe. And I love seeing all those cheer squads get to do their thing. And the moms and daughters!

Yes, it was so great seeing the younger girls riding with their moms. Did you see the 8-9-year-old riding her tiny orange road bike? She was so cute and so fast. My friend and I just barely kept up with her and her mom on East Lake Sammamish Pkwy.

I did see her! And at packet pickup, I overheard a mom asking how she could time things so that she could do Girly Girl and then come back and do the 10 miler with her daughter. And I saw plenty of tandems. At least one of those tandems had a blind stoker whom I've seen at triathlons. It's just a delight, this ride.
