Ride Seattle to Vancouver & Party!

We did it!    The 2008 RSVP (Ride from Seattle to Vancouver (Canada) and Party!) was a huge success!!  1300+ riders (I was #3!), and 186 miles later…we were bottoms up (in so many ways). 

I was worried that my back wouldn’t hold up however, all systems were go!   I didn’t even get a flat.  Our family doc (Go Ross!) was in our pace line so I knew that I’d be taken care of if anything glitched.   Happily, I felt like I could go farther!  Yeah!

Mitch (my spousal unit) is the Ride Director - so I know how much work goes into this event.    His team was at their best.  Mother Nature cooperated, the volunteers were brilliant, and the US border agents were only moderately jerky coming home.

All in all, a fine accomplishment!   It’s clear why this event sells out before the end of January!
Thanks, Cascade Bike Club!!!
