Fixin' Stuff In Kirkland

We spent our Memorial Day in Kirkland this year where we were proud to support the Annual 7 Hills of Kirkland benefiting the Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing Organization. The KITH's mission is to provide temporary and longer term housing for individuals and families threatened by homelessness in the greater Kirkland region. Presently, KITH manages a twelve-unit apartment complex and owns two four-plexes. KITH also provides case-management for its constituents and an assortment of related charitable functions serving the local community. So, very early in the morning we showed up to lend mechanical support to the more than 1300 riders in this great event.

The 7 Hills of Kirkland boasts three great courses. From the traditional 7 Hills course (about 40 miles) to a Metric Century to a full blown Century ride. We were there every step of the way to make sure that people were able to finish the ride. This is the first year that we've participated in the 7 Hills ride and it was a great ride to be involved with. From the top notch courses to the outstanding strawberry shortcake at the end, this is a ride that should be at the top of your list of rides to do every year. While not for the faint of heart (this ride does have as much as 7,000 feet of climbing) this ride was well supported and a great challenge for all involved.

We'd like to thank Chris Fox and the rest of the 7 Hills staff and volunteers for providing a great ride and for allowing us to be part of it.
