Yes, she surely earned every soaking "big NW courage point", f'sure! Yep, I volunteered to direct traffic to parking spots and, it was only after I waved to the recumbent cyclist starting out, then called to her about her kickstand that I put the beautiful Bacchetta together with our own TE rider and added another greeting and hug to send her off anew

I was a sodden mess after being out there for 3 hours, so I chose to leave my bike to stay dry in my car, and head home. Kudos to all of the riders and even those who pulled up, told me that they decided not to ride but wanted to drop off a donation to support our Oso Strong Memorial ride - very cool.

Great to meet you lauraelmore1033!
