Dave Queen Reflects on the SSCXWC Torch Passing to Seattle for 2010: After racing past editions of the SSCXWC in Portland, I was nervous about moving the race to Seattle in 2010. Seattle has been described as a city that is insecure, always smelling its own breath. To properly stage, or ride, the SSCXWC you must throw caution to the wind and let it all hang out. I was hopeful but not optimistic; optimism comes hard in this gray town.
