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!
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
