Lots of Real Cows and a Fake One

I just completed the last piece of my training with 102 miles in the Flying Wheels Summer Century. It was a beautiful ride through the Snoqualmie and Snohomish Valleys. I saw lots of cows, some contented, some angry. While riding past the Nestle Co. Center near Carnation, I even saw a fake cow. Well it was actually a monument to a cow with a long name and a tribute to 'her distinguished service to mankind.' Maybe this was a cow that Nestle genetically engineered to give chocolate milk. I got out of there Quik. One has lots to think about on a long ride.

Temps were in the 60's with a pleasant breeze and low humidity--just like it will be in the midwest and east in July and August.

Thank you all for your continued incredible support--we leave Seattle for DC in one week!!

Till later,

Marty

We are waiting with enthusasm the reports from your adventure across America - I expect you will see at least a few more cows before you return! Congratulations on reaching the $10k mark for fund raising! This will not only benifit those directly associated with the ALA's good work, but should inspire many of your supporters to become more active for good health!
