Since you know that I have extensive experience working with the US Navy, it should come as no surprise that I am accustomed to the use (and misuse) of acronyms. In this case, the title acro translates to: Bainbridge Island to Port Angeles to Bainbridge Island, and assumes that you understand that THAT means by bike. It is pronounced (By-PAW-Bee) and will take place on Wednesday & Thursday, August 26 & 27. Isn't it nice to be young, free and adventurous?????
We will ride from our Island home to PA leaving early to avoid what little mid-week traffic is left of the tourist season, reserve semi-luxurious motel accommodations in the Port of Angeles, have a wonderful dinner on the town, and ride back the next day. All this by popular demand by the newly empowered psycho-spinners, who seem to be on the brink of taking over the world (or at the very least, bringing about national health care reform). I am toying with the idea of adding a Hurricane Ridge side trip on Thursday, but that might make even Lance wince, not to mention David Byrne . All this is in preparation for next years BIG TRIP to either (it was agreed) Italy, France, New Zealand or North Dakota. Lot's more details to quickly follow, but I decided that it was more blog-worthy to get this cool news out than for me to bore you with the second installment of my "Why I" series. With apologies to the laughing fat guy of course.
So gimme some feedback folks:
Like the ride?
Costs?
Supported?
Sponsor?
Beneficiary?
Jerseys?
North Dakota?

In 2007 RacerMate Inc of Seattle, Wa. hired me to produce their new software line of products to be called, TA DA, Real Course Videos. So almost overnight I became (cue the theme music) RCVman. This is the story of my work on the road, filming triathlons and searching for true love. Some things never change.

Nuts -- out of town on business those days. I did that ride solo in 1984; back then 104 had no shoulders which meant that those big ass RVs passed me with nothing to spare. We have it easier now with plenty of room on 104 to cruise away from traffic.
I would like to go if I don't go to LA for fam get together and bro in law's 60th. Sam got a BMX for his birthday and have been going to the skatepark at Strawberry. This is very interesting. I did see and talk to a 41 year old guy who was jumping all over the big bowl. And, the jump out of the bowl doesn't look too tough. Maybe the spin class could hold a session there and we could all give it a try?

Now, what happened to the 'why I' series? You should follow thru on that...
Knew going in that the dates would be conflicting with real world priorities, but we are running right out of summer and into fall, so I had to make an executive decision without a town hall meeting. As noted, it might end up a solo trip. Oh well.....
The Badwater run is insane. The same thing we used to say about Ironman. But then things change and the mountain......you know the rest
