...and the trip ended the way it began, slogging through Seattle rush-hour traffic. I'm home. I'm tired, I managed to sunburn the hell out of my bald head, I've got a quarter gig of photos to upload, maps to make, and triplogs to write, but in brief: I had a great time with some awesome folks, further developed my riding skills through some coaching and by watching those more able than I in the corners, and I can't wait to get out again.
