Beany Wezelman from Berkeley burns brighter than most. Her new bike, which replaced her old pink bike with downtube shifters and other old technology, is too gray for her. So rainbow tie-die sleeves wrap two of the main tubes, adding a chromatic expression of Beany's personality. We learned a hill-climbing trick from Beany today. We lag behind her on hills, which is not difficult. Beany kills hills. Dead hills are easier to climb. Beany is celebrating birthday No. 74 today. We will have gin & tonics (her favorite drink) and tie-die birthday cake at happy hour tonight. Go, Beany!
We got a good look at Mt. Rainier today. Tomorrow we ride even closer but we figured we might not get another clear shot due to weather. We'll see, and so will you, tomorrow.
Here is the route we will ride. There is a longer route with more climbing, but we're passing on that as the following days are both 80-milers.
