I rode the Chilly Hilly route yesterday afternoon. Chilly Hilly is an event put on by Cascade Bicycle Club every year on the last Sunday in February. Thousands of cyclists pour off the ferry and ride counter clockwise around Bainbridge Island. I remember doing my first Chilly Hilly on a rainy Sunday in 1982. Yesterday the sun was shining but a stiff breeze was bringing cooler weather as I rounded Point White.
After riding the High Pass Challenge a couple days ago, I feel like I’m in shape to ride the Levi Gran Fondo today. My ride every day program has worked as expected. Now my plan is simply to continue riding about 200 miles per week, perhaps getting a little stronger, before leaving for California.
