Today I dipped my wheels in the salty water of the Puget Sound and rode the first tour leg east to Skykomish, WA. 56 miles, another 1800 ft of climbing, my first glimpse of snow covered Mt. Ranier, and the Cascades(themselves with spots of snow high up).
The tour people had a fantastic picnic lunch set up for us & a Lasgna dinner tonight. I've got to be careful or I'll be putting weight on!
Tomorrow's ride has us climbing over Steven's pass at 4600ft. After that feat we get a 15 mi descent – which are sometimes harder on your bodythan the hills.
