This year I did:Chilly Hilly: Great weather, lots of fun.Daffodil Classic: Excellent ride, but the steep hill at mile 92 was a surprise. I wrote and asked them to fix their on-line elevation profileSkagit Spring Classic: Nice scenic route but many miles of rough chip-seal road made it tiringTour de Blast: Fantastic day, but I had a fatal mechanical breakdown at about 5000&#039;, damn it. HAVE TO do it next year.STP: First time, completed in 13.5 hours clock time. A great experience.Kitsap Color Classic: Another gorgeous day. The fall colors showed up for it. Did all three loops. I was wishing I had done the Indianola loop first because it had the worst hills by some margin.Best disorganized ride: Seattle Waterworks Tour. I devised and rode a 62 mile circuit by every watertower and reservoir in Seattle. Maple leaf, View Ridge, Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, South city line near White Center,  High Point, West Seattle, Queen Anne Hill, Magnolia East, Magnolia West, Phinney Ridge, North city line near Greenwood. Total of about 4800 feet of climbing and all but a couple of miles was inside the city limits.
