Sunday's Ride/Swim/Ride
Here is the map for Sunday's Ride/Swim/Ride from Day Rd/305 out to Buck Lake and back. It is 19 miles there, 400 meters across and back (X2?) in the warm waters of shallow Buck Lake and 20+ miles back if we decide to take the Little Boston route home. You will need to bring goggles and a wetsuit (if you like) in a backpack. Also recommended is lotsa water and a couple of GU gels (or M&Ms). I think a good start time is 10am. So go to church early if you must. It is a nice little workout on what is expected to be a beautiful day in the GPNW.

Looking forward to it, thnx for organizing. I will pack some energy bars (home made-enough to share!)
Yummmmm
Have a great time with the biathalon. I'll be on the other side of the Sound with this ride:
The Torture Century North on Sunday, May 31st. This is the north half of the Super Torture Super Century route scheduled for a week after the Classic in June. Some consider this more challenging than the southern edition. Climbs tend to be shorter, but are steeper. The total route is 67 miles with an alleged 7,500 ft of climbing.
Sam and I will be thinking about all these heroics as we round Battlepoint chasing the ducks, etc.
I guess with all the gadgets FW has on his flightdeck we'll get the true meaning of "alleged" as it relates to 7,500 ft of climbing! Have a great ride. I look forward to seeing the data on Monday.
Plus, there is a lot to be said about chasing ducks.....ask Elmer.
You mean Elmer my Dad? or Fudd?
Ooops, I never caught your Dad's name, but I DID get that he was a WWII hero. No disrespect intended, I was in reference to Mr. Fudd.
Who won?
LE kicked my fanny again.
7,000 feet and change over 67 miles. Eleven started, three finished (including me): http://bit.ly/LiMlP
WOW. Nicely done my friend. Take the rest of the weekend off!
I stitched some video clips together here:

Awesome work FW. I think I know the couple in the matching red jerseys.
