Not sure if it is complete, but last monday, at about Skykomish, there were signs warning of a possible 45 min delay on account of road contstruction. We, fortunately, were turning at Index area, so just saw the signs.

Never had a helmet. Do not wear one. Rigid bike, with 2 spokes missing for over a year on rear wheel. Dented the front rim coming down after taking the pic last weekend. Still works fine, tho.

While walking to a couple caches in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness I hit 774 MPH. Kept it as the high speed in my receiver.
