Still Bikin'1

It's been a good biking season though it started late as far as the good weather is concerned. I have done a couple of good events this season. The STP was completed in July ...it's a 206 mile ride from Seattle to Portland. I did this with greater ease than prior years and that surprises me with my continuing aging process! The 2nd good ride I did was my favorite, though the toughest of the two. This is a three day event called the Courage Classic Bicycle Classic. It's a fundraiser for Multicare Childrens Hospital Child Abuse division. The ride goes over three Cascade Passes, Snoqualamie, Blewett and Stevens. It's a three day 175 mile ride and is tough but fun and extremely well supported. I continue to ride daily to and from work, each way being 10 miles so 20 per day. As long as it does not rain I can complete 100 miles a week and not drive my car to work. I've been enjoying my year of biking on a 1998 Trek USPS carbon fiber bike...very nice. Bought it from Craigslist. OK. that's enough.
