I was watching the race last Sunday and while I got the connection to WW I and the strade bianche, I was wondering about the name.(BTW, I loved to see Marianne Vos win the ladies' version. Nice to see that even L'Eroica participants can win a real race every now and then.

Springtime in Central Washington. Wildflowers on the hillside and a constant headwind as I ride highway 10 west to the town of Cle Elum.

France opened up its borders so I took the Koga and headed south for a day trip that was supposed to happen on the second Sunday of April. Empty roads only.
Trouée d'Arenberg, pretty legendary and pretty mean.

A cool little connector/shortcut I take to avoid the busy Preston-Fall City road when I drop into the lower valley from Lake Alice.
