On Saturday, I participated in the Ann Weatherill Cycling Classic, riding 100 miles around Walla Walla & Milton-Freewater. It was a great ride with great weather - a little windy but cool. The ride took us through old towns like Umapine, Calhounville, and Tum-a-Lum, through vineyards in the countryside, and up Mill Creek Road into the piney woods. It started & finished at the L'Ecole No. 41 Winery. Walla Walla's Merchants Deli & Bakery provided a lunch buffet at the end, with the winery providing, what else, wine. I stuck with the hard stuff - A&W root beer!
Ann was a Walla Walla resident who was 
killed in 2004 while riding her bike. This
event raises funds for bicycling safety programs put on by the Wheatland Wheelers and to put up Share the Road signs to remind drivers to watch out for cyclists. It was as much fun as being on a bike for 100 miles can be! Gonna do this one again next year!
39 days until RAMROD!
