Goodbye Wendy Ride (Moderate)

This is a ride to say goodbye to our friend Wendy Nungesser.  She is leaving us for some new adventures where she can be close to her parents.  We wish her luck but she will be missed.  You don't have to know Wendy to ride with us.  She is an awesome person and ride leader and this may be your last chance to meet her.  So join us!  Afterwards will have a beer at the local Snoqualmie Brewery.
