Starbucks on alpha at 6.

[Rolf]

Alpha Starbucks is being renovated. ...In case you were counting on pre-ride caffeination.

I'd normally be all over this ride and it pains me to say this but... I actually need to recover these legs and will ... miss it (sniff!). Have fun, and I'll be there again soon. Hope you find caffeine somewhere!

[Rolf]

This is such a beautiful ride at this time of year: silent madrona and sunbeams through the firs take one's mind off all the bumps.

Rich, you are strong! Thanks for pulling my sorry butt 98.2% of the ride (especially into that waterfront headwind.)
