portrait of the artist as a middle-aged cyclist

so here I am at the start of the Chilly Hilly Classic. At this point I could only testify to it being chilly (about 40ºF) but the rest of the ride’s name would become apparent all too soon.

This image is the proof taken by Marathon Foto. If I ever do one of these for charity, I could see buying the images they make for promotional or testimonial use. They obviously stake out their locations well: that’s the Seattle skyline across Puget Sound you see behind me.
