So it turns out that Seattle is a great place for cycling! We have been riding our bikes since we moved here, but it wasn't until this Summer, motivated by the forthcoming STP, that we discovered the many beautiful areas to ride in Western Washington. This photograph (which I copied from "Robin's Blog" at http://robinwall.com/?p=24), is of a fairly typical view from Carnation Farm Road, a road we cycled on last Saturday, perhaps our most beautiful ride to date. But I think the best part of training is that it has gotten us outside without Susanna. And our Saturday rides, which are four to six hours spent rambling around Western Washington together, are just sublime.
A family-- a cycling scientist, a crazy little girl, a happy toddler, and me-- navigating the exciting, sometimes difficult, but most of all wonderful adventure that is life.

that is really pretty and Seattle is a great place to almost do anything outside.
Are you still on the same bike you rode around the U? ...you know...the one that weighed .5 tons? LOL
Good luck with your Bike event-it'll be gorgeous!
Amazing. You two are going to be great on the road to Portland! Bless the gal/guy who is watching Suzy Q for you while you're pedaling.
