Bridge Pedal... YAY!!!!!!

Today is one of my favorite days of all... Bridge Pedal day!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michael decided to join us this year for bicycle fun. Because of Brad's recent knee issues, we decided it best to do the shorter 5-bridge "family" ride this year - just 11.5 miles instead of 23. Waiting for the start:
Lots of folks in front and many, many more behind:
On top of the Marquam Bridge:
A fire boat came to put on a show. VERY impressive!
But then it got REALLY impressive!!!
Refusing to smile...
Showing their best sides:
Don't do it!!!
Fremont Bridge:
Why is Michael so sad?
Waiting for a train!!! :(
Eryn also rode but was having mechanical trouble and was a ways behind us.

At the finish line, we loaded up on free popcorn, iced tea, ice cream bars, chocolate milk and Clif Bars. WOOHOO! At the I-405 rest stop: yogurt, bananas, cookies and bagels. You know it's all about the free stuff!!!!!!

Can't wait for next year... hopefully back to the longer ride :)
