Wayne Wakeman rode no less than 100 kilometers to celebrate Memorial Day 2008 in Kirkland, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville and Redmond, Washington, climbing en route 11 of the steepest slopes on offer in the area. Thanks to a well-planned route by the organizers ( www.7hillskirkland.com ), the steepest inclines lay at the beginning of the course, with Seminary Hill being the greatest challenge. Back in Kirkland, the cyclists were feted with a delicious strawberry shortcake.

Wow, what a ride! We’re still waiting for snow to melt in the mountains before Rod can ride up at Kelly Canyon. Until then he just rides out in the country and down to the river.

Good job! Glad you are keeping in shape. Who would have believed that bike would still be running so well after 20 years. It sure has been well worth it!! Looks like you had a beautiful day for “a little bike ride”.
Keep it up!!!!!
