Novelty Century

I did another century mile ride this weekend. Part of the ride was done with my friend Tony. This century included 2 good climbs (max at 20%!) grade, Novelty Hill and Cougar Mountain. The ride went through Lynnwood, Duvall, Novelty Hill, Redmond, Lk. Sammamish, Cougar Mt, Newcastle, Renton, Beacon Hill, Golden Garden Pk and back home in Seattle. It was much tougher than my Urban Century ride 2 weeks ago which went on the mostly flat BG and Sam. bike trails. This was also a beautiful ride through the country side with relaxing stops for breakfast in Duvall and snacks at other points. I am using Ride with GPS to embed the details of the ride along with pictures. Also, check out the scrolling playback and 3D view, it is quite amazing. Please let me know if you like this entry. Of course, this is the last big ride in preparation for the Courage Classic next weekend. As I write this, next weekend at this time, we will be scaling Blewett Pass!. Thanks for all my friends who donated, if you have not done so, you can click on the fundraising widget on the right. There is still time!
