I put off registering till the day of the ride. In fact, I hadn't even made up my mind to ride until 7AM this morning when I realized the weather was going to cooperate. Am sure glad I went! Perfect fall weather and I even ran into Benjiboy on the ferry ride over (I actually recognized him because of the description he gave in a post about his Davidson) and ended up riding more or less with him for most of the day. He's a really nice guy and good company as well as a great riding partner.
The roads didn't have too much debris from yesterdays storm and the routes were interesting with rollers, peek-a-boo views of the water, and some small steep hills to catch unsuspecting riders that hit you after going around sharp corners....
We ran into East Hill at the Poulsbo food stop and admired each others bikes. Her Schwinn Paramont is a nice example of a nearly perfect Paramont for the '70s and it's very interesting because of it's component selection most of which is original. Her passion for cycling is evident from the moment you meet her. It was a real treat to meet both of you!
