Day 1
Seattle to Easton - 86 miles
This was a interesting day. We started out with about 60 turns to get out of the Seattle area, then a little freeway riding. Finially we move onto some great two lane with very little traffic.
Western Washington is very lush and green. As we rode accross the Cascades we moved into open pine country. The pass was just a little over 3,000 feet. Does'nt seem like much in Colorado terms but we started at 10 feet.
The group is very spread in age a ability. Age is from highschool to 60 +. Also a big spread in abilities. I was first in Easton by about an hour and I stoped a lot to look at things. Eight out of the fourty had to be saged.
Tomorrow is an easier day so hopefully everyone can finish on their own. I am looking forward to the next few days getting to know everyone. Tomorrow I will try to ride with the group insted of out in front.
We finished the evening with a salmon dinner and a map meeting to discuss the next days ride.
