Comments from 2007RAPSody riders:
Over the last 9 years Ihave ridden dozens of
rides & this one takes
top honors! Thanks
again for sharing the
northwest's best kept
cycling secret & putting
on such a great ride.
The 1st food stop was
AWESOME. I've done
quite a few rides thisyear but this was the
best food I've had.
Every time I stopped
for anything (never had
a problem), someone
was checking to see if I
was ok. Now that is im-
pressive ride support.
