The drive to the start line was slow, hundreds of cars with bikes on or behind them, queued up down the Seattle streets. We arrived at the University of Washington parking lot a…

    After helping out with the Stamping Out Hunger food drive we decided to head up to the ‘M’ trail for a little hike. We took the midway cutoff, which provides some different scenery than the normal. It was a beautiful clear day which provided a great opportunity for some photos. [slideshow]
