Bloggin from Seattle

We're up in Seattle visiting my wife's dad and doing the tourist thing. Pike's Place Market and Pioneer Square are on the agenda. We drove up late yesterday afternoon in time to see the wonderful sunset on Puget Sound. Since the Daffodil Classic is on Sunday and is located outside of Tacoma we can head down early from here instead of getting up at 0'dark thirty and driving up from Portland. I'm alittle nervous about the ride since my training hasn't been as extensive as necessary. What the heck. This was supposed to be a ride to train for the Reach the Beach ride but it's going to end up being harder based on the profile they provided. I'm going to do both of the 25 mile loops which equates into almost 1600 feet of elevation gain. I know I can do it because I've done harder rides in the past. I'm just hoping the wind is not a factor but you never know. I'm taking a disposible camera with me so I should have some pics soon. The scenery is supposed to be fantastic. Update** I read the evevation wrong. It's 2,757 feet for one loop and 2,625 feet for the other, Holy Shiite!
