Team Training ride from Tacoma to Bremerton

  With only 17 days left to go until we start the 

Police Unity Tour, our whole team 
(with PUT Jerseys on) 

set up one of our last training rides to go from Tacoma to Bremerton, Washington, a 62 mile round trip.  The planning of the route was the easy part, the hard part was trying to find a day where everyone could get together 

and have the weather cooperate. 

So Sunday the 21st was selected with the hope of Sunshine.

And as we all know now, that didn't happen.

Even in the rain, we made this trip happen.  

Our goal was to get 62 miles in on some good rolling hills.

And as you can see here, 2,887 feet of elevation gain was a good work out.

But our second, and I think more important goal of this trip, was to ride to the 
Washington State Patrol office in Bremerton 
where Trooper Tony Radulescu had worked 
out of for many years.

We wanted to ride there and present to the Troopers that work there, and had worked side by side with Trooper Tony, a plaque. 

We wanted to let them know that their coworker, who passed in the Line of Duty over a year ago, has not been forgotten.  

And that we will be riding in honor of him during our trek in the Police Unity Tour.

So even though it was a soggy and cold day, our ride was worth the hills and wet clothes we went through.  

Below is a video I put together of our ride.
