The seventh race was at Evergreen High School, which is down in Burien. This usually tends to be a pretty fun course and is pretty spectator friendly. For people racing, the only big thing is a decent (in comparison to the other courses in the series) run up.

Well that’s right. It’s the week before Thanksgiving and I’ve got 4,211 miles logged for the year.
I verbalized a goal of 5,000 during the 2004 year that I just didn’t make (3,472). With that I figured I’d shoot for it this year but not really saying it as an “official” goal.

MarathonGuide.com’s calorie calculator shows that for an hour of cycling at 14-16mph (which even though I always feel like I’m doing 18-20, my avg seems to always be about 16), I’ll burn 853 calories!

There’s a cyclelicious post talking about how far you can go on $2.50 worth of food, comparing that to how much a gallon of gas costs.

I have a Wednesday evening ritual. I go to the Philips 66 gas station at Boston and Sunset and pay about two and half dollars for […]
