So when I saw the new Mountain Travel Sobek bike trip for the area, I signed up. He also said it was some of the hilliest riding he has done, so Kathy decided she would sit this one out (too much spring training is a real conflict with her passion - the garden).
Signing up for the trip was the easy part, getting to the start in Skopje was a lot tougher. I ended up flying to Frankfurt, where I'm staying overnight tonight, and will then fly into Skopje via Ljubljana, Croatia, tomorrow. So far so good - luggage has all arrived and the Hilton is just a short 1 block walk from the arrival/departure gates.
It has been a good year for early training on the wet coast. I got a nice start with a week with friends in Healdsburg and Paso Robles, and then returned to Seattle for the driest May on record.
Here's a picture of the Cascades today - pretty much the same blue sky day we've had every day the last 2 weeks.
I'm setting up a group list for my posts, so let me know if you'd like to get off the pseudo-spam email from my regular updates.
And feel free to share the daily link with anyone you think might be interested. If they send me a quick email, I can add them to the e-list as well.
