Susie Stephens Memorial Bike Ride

Today my son Jake and I participated in the Susie Stephens Memorial Bike Ride. It was a beautiful day in spite of the forecast and about 30 people showed up to honor Susie. Most riders chose to ride the Chewuch Loop beginning and ending at the Barn. Jake and I added four miles by riding from our home. We got in almost twenty miles but did the Loop in under an hour. Not bad for this early in the year, for us.

Jake scored a demo bike from Joe at Methow Valley Sport and Cycle. It was a Bianchi cross bike and sells for about three grand. Jake liked it but it's unlikely he will be cruising around on one of those this summer. Not unless he decides to get a job which is highly unlikely.
