SUMMER WHEELS FLYING CENTURY

The raindrops on the camera lens tell the story--chilly, a few sprinkles but a fun few hours on the bike nonetheless. (I opted for the 65-miler, not the century.)

Put on by the Cascade Bicycle Club, the ride started at Marymoor Park, traced the Sammamish Lake shoreline then headed for the rural hinterlands of Duvall, Carnation and the like.

About three or four short steep hills kept one honest though the fast damp descents sometimes felt a little slippery.

All in all, a typical Juneuary day on the bike!
