50 mile training let's you really see Whidbey

Here is some information about long rides on Whidbey Island - it's ALL HILLS!!!!

There is an old saying, "What goes UP must Go Down" or something like that, well what goes down on Whidbey MUST go UP, and UP, and UP. I went for a long training ride yesterday and came to the conclusion that riding the STP (Seattle to Portland) is no big thing compared to just rididng on Whidbey (especially the Tour de Whidbey - which I have not done, but now have greater empathy for riders who have.) I enjoyed my workout, especially the scenery and cold and wind, and wind, and wind and cold - oh, you get the idea, just another wonderful day on Whidbey.

So this is my third posting and it sure takes time to do, even if it is a brief posting. I am trying to get into the 21st century with the 20 for 20 we are doing here at Sno-Isle and it is not easy. Guess I enjoy my peace and privacy to much, but I am learning and that is what is important so let's get'er done. Now I will be able to keep up with my grandkids and all my children, kids of my friends and friends of my kids, who are into blogging, chatting, myface, myspace, etc.

I am looking forward to keeping up with the times...next.
