Seattle to Easton, Washington - 80 Miles

My friend Chris, his new wife Liz, and young Master Lucas joined us as dinner
tonight in our lovely camp. We are at the Easton Lake State park, which is
almost deserted despite being a very nice place. We're all learning our places
in the flow of things, and my KP team was in first place. We got to learn
all about fixing lunch and breakfast and helping out the dinner people (who
happened to be made up of some of last years riders.).
Scott and I are sorting through all the junk we brought and trying to figure
out where to jettison some ballast.
All in all, a great day and good weather tomorrow for our trip through Ellensberg
to Vantage on the Columbia River.

The email I'll use this summer is brucesherman@mac.com. Send mail to this address to say hello and I'll be able to read it on the ride.
It
was a beautiful morning at Stan Sayre's pits, also know as the hydroplane
pits. The temp was already in the mid 60's as the group shown in the picture
prepared to leave on the Big Ride. We had great weather all day (meaning
some people had sunburns.) The various climbs between Lake Washington
and Snoqualmie Summit were at their best. My motto for the trip this year
is "ride the hill you're on". Even our time on the freeway afforded
interesting views. I found later that Scott saw the same electric stove
burner laying by the side of the road and almost picked it up. Great minds
think alike.
