Manu Schmitt Invitational Classic

Sunday, May 17th was a gorgeous warm afternoon – perfect for the 41st Annual Manu Schmitt Invitational Classic (2nd Observed). This year was a little more casual – a 3 mile ride along the Sammamish River trail, a ride short enough that I was just getting into my cycling groove when we had already arrived at Bothell Landing and it was time for the Swiss Picnic. The watery portion of the this year’s event consisted in watching boaters go up and down the river and sticking our hot tootsies in the nice cool water. Fellow riders were rather lacking; Andre Tapernoux was the only brave soul to join the intrepid us. Next year I hope more join us on two wheels – we have to earn that Swiss picnic! Thanks to all who came out to celebrate Manuski’s special day!
