Looking toward Chuckanut from Galbraith's 911.

Rode Galbraith with Russ after keeping him waiting an hour -- I was late because I forgot my bike and had to go back for it. Then I forgot my camera. I guess you could say I've got a lot on my mind right now, what with the trouble with Lane and Laurel and all.

The nicest thing that happened today was that Laurel cooked a Mother's Day dinner for Lane, and it was good (fried/baked chicken, break and peeled, sliced cucumbers in rice vinegar).

Approximately 1600 verts.

Vert Quest chronicles "The Man Known As Mongo's" pursuit of the World Record for climbing on a mountain bike, 404,000 vertical feet, or the vertical equivalent of 13 sea-level-to-summit ascents of Mt. Everest during a 12 month period. Mongo's mountain bike climbing tricks are distilled in Mongo's Over-the-top Guide to Climbing.
