Not so chilly, still quite hilly

A couple of Sundays ago, it was the annual Chilly Hilly bike ride. Unseasonable warmth (maybe 12-15C!) drew thousands of early season cyclists on the ferry out to Bainbridge to tackle the 33-mile rolling course.

Not only did my Wallingford mate Doug and I make it round in a creditable 2.15, we even cycled both ways to the ferry, making it a very respectable 44-miler altogether. Here’s us in a HUGE queue for the return ferry on Bainbridge.

Then it was straight to the Pioneer Square Saloon to watch the Olympic’s grand finale – US vs Canada in the hockey. A real nail-biter of a game with a last minute US score and a Canadian golden goal in overtime. Result! Here’s Canada giving US a shave in the pub for losing…
