The 7 Hills of Kirkland is a very popular Northwest cycling event and a fundraiser for KITH that happens right here in Kirkland. Hurry and sign up if you haven't already- it's this Monday 5/28, Memorial Day, and registration is limited to 1500 people. There are three routes to choose from ranging from 38-99 miles long and 3000-7000 feet of elevation depending on what kind of challenge you are up for. There is also a Kiwanis pancake breakfast at the Peter Kirk Community Center on Sat 5/26 to support KITH/Seven Hills from 7-noon. And having a post about bicycle racing seems like an opportune time to tell you about our two newest advertisers: Gregg's Cycles and 1st Rate Insurance (just voted best insurance agency in Kirkland by the Reporter) - thanks guys, for being Kirkland Blog supporters!
