here are photos!



no, the roads are not sandy. They are in better condition than Seattle's roads.
We did lots of scary turns with great traction.

Hey Mimi, I was browsing through my pictures and found one I took 3 years ago I believe on my last Chilly Hilly. It will give people an idea of what a ton of bikes on the ferry would look like . . .




I KNOW THAT HILL! I've made it every time I rode! It's crazy! One year I had to pass people by going over the yellow lines onto the other side (very quickly) to get around them! Great shot!!!!!!!!!

those photos are taken by Seattle PI and Seattle Times photographers.

we forgot the memory for our own camera.

note the walker in my second picture who didn't have the sense to get out of the way!!!!

I though about all you Chilly Hilly riders yesterday! I wish I had gone! It looks and sounds like it was a fun ride this year.

Yes, I see that person behind number 2633! That was one of the most frustrating things for me when I rode in the chilly hilly; the number of "novice" riders who did not know the rules of biking on the road.

Eeeek! That is a hill!

I love it that the women didn't have to wait! There is a ride like that in MA (Climb to the Clouds) where there is a distinct and favorable difference in the bathroom lines.

That looks like a great ride. My husband and I did a ride through Bainbridge a few years ago - we especially loved the bike shop and the farmers market. You Seattle people live in such a beautiful part of the country - we were astounded!

Well, It's not like anybody can afford to move here any more; There was a story on the news last week that stated that the "middle class" was officially priced out of the Seattle housing market.

I'm a local, and I can't afford a house!

(well, heck can a single mom afford a house *anywhere*?)
