At least one of the 1,000 cyclists who rode in the Seattle Century on Saturday is all smiles after crossing Lake Washington on the I-90 bridge bike trail.
This was the last leg of the ride for the cyclists who headed from Seattle and into the eastside hills to the spectacular Snoqualmie Falls. The ride ended at Magnuson Park with a dinner of grilled salmon.
This is the third time Good Sport Promotion has rolled out this century bike ride in Seattle. Organizers say this has been their highest registration for the Seattle ride, and they're hoping it will rival the Portland Century that usually draws 2,000 to 3,000 riders.
I stopped to take a few pictures and talk to some of the century riders as I headed home from the Tour de Fat event. The ones from out-of-town especially raved about the scenery, although a couple of guys visiting from Arizona complained about the cold morning start. In fact, they were still complaining about the chilly temperatures about six hours later after the sun had come out.
The event also featured a 50-mile route.
Check the Good Sport Promotion website for information about their other rides in Portland, Hood River and Silverton, Oregon.
