the day started tough. those seattle hills are no joke. after riding over 70 miles and climbing close to 4500 feet, i’m taking the night off.

patrick and stefan were great and escorted me out of the city. i couldn’t have asked for a better day to start. weather, company and sights were all perfect.

there’s a ton of photos, but i’ll have to get to them later. tomorrow is a big day and i need the rest. one day down, and i’m ready for the next. day 01 done.
