Look for me toodling along on my butterscotch Saluki with white
Hetres, probably wearing a red, yellow and green wool Bouré
jersey...and say hello as you pass me! :)
This will be my first time riding the Seattle-to-Portland in 15 years,
as well as my first centuries since back then, and since a heart
attack two years ago. I'm a bit nervous. Not about the heart thing--
I'm good to go according to my cardiologist. More about whether I'm
ready to go that distance. The ride is 204 miles in two days. I feel a
bit undertrained, but I am going to take Velocio's "contemplative
cyclotouring" notions to heart, and ride slow and enjoy the scenery.
(Velocio's Seven Rules were linked to in another conversation about
Saluki-riding: <http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=1187>)
Just had Bob Freeman at Elliot Bay have a look at my bike fit, and
adjust the front deraillieur, and the bike feels great.
I mean, what about riding 200 miles with 9,999 other cyclists couldn't
be fun? :)
