COUNTDOWN TO RSVP

And the Snoqualmie wind got us again...

As Leo put it, "It is like the wind is laughing at us and saying, ha you can't beat me up this hill..."

The wind, on our final 3 mile climb, kicked our butts- it was in full gear as it only is in Snoqualmie. The day was truly beautiful. A balmy 39 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Leo's calves were numb as were my fingers and all of our feet felt like cement blocks but hey, if you don't ride in cold weather in the PNW when do you ride?

The loop (despite Carlos having to carry a full human extra) was pretty tame until THE HILL- but we had to get ready for our ride next week- THE CHILLY HILLY.

It was great to pedal with friends and listen to another hand crafted playlist this time courtesy of Carlos.... IT did sound a bit like a rave minus the drugs and glow sticks- and made us all want to go "clubbing" but the nice mixture of gLee tracks and old rock totally evened it out.

Seems like Joc is next on the playlist round and frankly I may never get there but will take what anyone else puts out (that's what she said).

Carlos is right, welcome to the team MISS IVY!

PS- I wish you had let me pull her, then I wouldn't feel so bad about the chips I just ate...
