Sorry, that's my own private ride . It's the five times down 212th, along East Valley, up past Valley Medical, south on Benson, east on 192nd, south on 124th to home. Then, reverse five times. It's not quite a hundred miles, so that last leg has to go through Big Soos until 216th, up that hill, then north on 132nd, thence to home. Some killer bits on the last leg!

I should start one like that though! It's got a catchy name .

Let me see...Cinderella Classic down in California on April 5.

Tour de Pierce...Headwaters Century. There's a ride in Maupin, OR around Memorial Day I missed last year, and I want to do that one too. Oh, and the Kitsap Klassic!

I am always mulling about the STP. My husband has just changed his work hours so that he will be starting work at 6.00 am, instead of the absolutely horrible 8.00 pm to 4.30 am shift we are on now. I'll be working on joining him (he's going to a different facility) as soon as possible. I really can't stand the current hours.

Anyway, five rides so far. I was looking at the Seven Hills of Kirkland when I was at the Bike Expo, and decided it was a bit too much. The great thing about the Tour de Troublemaker is that I can poop out anywhere along it and not be more than five miles away from home .
