yesterday i (and about 50 other riders) did a 200k starting/ending in southworth. it was great!

we got a tiny bit of rain, but besides that the scenery & hills (lots of them) kept us entertained. i hadn't ridden in the tahuya area before this, but the "hills" part of this ride definitely held true.

some pretty steep stuff, and some that went on for a few kilometers.

a few pics from the ride:

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the write-up. I've been wanting to ride out that way. I have a route around here somewhere that starts in Bremerton, goes out to Tahuya, up to Seabeck, then back to Bremerton. It's about 80 miles, so makes a bit shorter day than what you did. I'll post it when I have a minute.
