Want to get cold, possibly wet, climb a bunch of hills and maneuver the roads around 3,000 other cyclists? Try the Chilly Hilly, ridden every February on Bainbridge Island. Even with the challenging weather and crowds - or perhaps because of them - it's great fun. Here's my first attempt at biking video (excuse the clumsiness) that shows a bit of last year's ride.
