And [Gav] would [cycle] 500 miles

Busy day for me today started at Spanaway High School just south of PLU where a major lunch time stop on the Seattle to Portland cycle trek this weekend. In the sun the weather was toasty but most riders found some worthy shade in which they spent their down time. More »
