Washington Bicycle Ride Calendar
I guess this won’t be the year I try the Chilly Hilly Ride on Feb. 24th. Doug and I will be just back from four days of Death Valley cycling and camping. The high temps forecast for Stovepipe Wells are 81 for the time we’ll be there. Doug says we have some high passes to cross so bring warm clothes. I’m bringing sun screen too, thank you. I know that Chandler was asking about anyone going to Chilly Hilly–you’ll have to talk to him ’cause I’m going to be acclimated to warm weather by Feb. 24th. So there.–Corrie
