I've mapped out the bulk of my ride here:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/3hhw4n<br /><br />The Bikely elevation profile gets confused by one of the bridge crossings to Mercer Island, so that's why it looks like I go subterranean for a bit there. But the big climb is Cougar Mountain, while Mercer Island and Seattle are both not-flat.<br /><br />KentKent Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607372827627527450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-89629183293530519662009-11-08T00:19:58.428-08:002009-11-08T00:19:58.428-08:00Hi!
