Wow, that's a long way out of the way. How do get to 5th Ave from the University?

It hadn't occurred to me to head up 100th. We live in Kirkland at the top of the Winery Hill, so we don't go over Juanita Drive on our Lake Washington loops (we go directly south and stay on the east side of I-405 'til we cross 520). We usually go up Norway Hill and take the 7 Hills of Kirkland route back home.

Thanks for assuming that we're fast
