andrea registered for a bike ride (2 weeks prior) called the seattle half-century; a 58 mile bike ride... for fun. this was not a race...it was a bike ride. for fun. we met up with a few friends from rei at 7am to kick this event off. andrea, lisa, and kristen rode together; brooke was the 'support' vehicle driver. read: mobile spectator!
at the start: andrea, kristen, and lisa.
andrea breezing into rest stop uno.
ron and michael, both shop techs from rei. ron is andrea's personal bike tech and my ski tech. andrea bakes him lots of cookies.
this was the best race event i've ever spectated. they had fried chicken at the rest stops. seriously...fried chicken!
kristen blowing down a big hill.
cruising.
dodging bikers and buses!
biking through the city streets.
leaving mercer island.
andrea biking over the montlake draw bridge.
lisa charging into the 'u district.'
rolling into the finish line.
the three made it to the end with no accidents or trouble. a walk in the park! these folks know how to finish up bike races in style...smoked salmon, grilled chicken, salad, draft beer, asparagus, brownies with black- berry sauce. what a way to recharge!

You told me it was easier to ride 50 miles than it was to run 25, but you didn't mention the fried chicken! Between the friend chicken stops and the feed at the end, I think this could be my sport!
