Day one of riding. Seattle to the foot of the Cascade mountains, 54.3 miles. But whose counting.  It was a perfect riding day, around 70 degrees, light wind, mostly cloudy. First half of the day was fairly easy, except for one hill that went on forever. The second half was harder, with many more hills, but we all made it to camp and that felt really good.
On e we're back at camp we have to set up our tents, shower and cook dinner. I thought the staff was going to cook the first two weeks, but I guess that was just wishful thinking. The food has been really good so far and it actually was nice to all help out together.
I have the alarm set for 5:30 A.M. So I am going to end this soon. It will be a tough morning ride, but once we get to Steven's Pass it will be all downhill from there.
Time for sleep
