The Friday Connection

Happy Friday! We're still out there biking away (just in case you thought we had disappeared)!

This week's link is to the Cascade Bicycle Club. This is the outfit who is putting on this whole Seattle to Portland Bike Ride. The link will take you directly to the STP page with all the "goods" on it.

Here is some information on the ride I snagged from their website, in case you are interested in numbers.
