hey Seattle ladies... Kit and I wanted to head up to your area this coming weekend for some riding. If anyone is interested, please speak up. Mtb or road would be ok. We are not sure of a route, so we shall leave that up to the experts in the area. Mimi suggested a ride on Sunday the 29th.
I hope to meet some of you very soon. :D
Thanks,
X.
hoping it's on pavement or I can't come!
how many miles do people want to do ? 30? want some hills?
30ish sounds fine, pavement sounds great :) I loved the redhook route- my only change to that would be probably bringing more weather-adequate gear along :rolleyes:
Mimi- any ideas on where we should stay over the weekend?
Knott, What are we doing Sunday? Something to do with a bassoon or coffee and bikes or what are we doin'? And Knott this is a family board ;)
*snorks soda through nose, laughs, eeks, hacks, sputters- coworkers all look up* :o ;) :p :rolleyes:
Our Sunday is pretty booked. (coffee and bassoon, dear) We have Monday open until about 2:30 p.m.
How's about Saturday too? I'd love to ride 2 days in a row if anyone can make it then. Otherwise, we will just push it back to the next weekend instead. All ideas are welcome. Also, we need the name of some nearby towns so we can look up a hotel for Sat night. (I am soon going to be working every weekend so we are trying to get away for as many rides as we can now. Thanks for your help.) :D
What're your town requirements? What do you like being around? I take it you're driving so you don't need public transport? What about price range?
We'll be riding on sunday! I think we have to do distance (ie about 50) and we're probably going to go on the Burke-Gilman to the 520 trail then back. That can be subject to change though and if there are pub plans, count us in!!! Mmmmm, pub. As long as it's close to the end of the ride (if not after) because I think I will need beer.

Beer?
oh yes. There must be beer. Perfect recovery drink. :D
Jane, your Sunday ride sounds like a good plan, if i can just keep up with you! and if the pub was at the end, then I could just bail there.Quote:

I also want to test out my new gears (fingers crossed, there was a snafu with them last sunday that hopefully got resolved) on a moderate sort of hill. We're not locked into the B-G route either though it seems the easiest for the distance. Another option could be Green River/Interurban? Though the idea of Redhook is definitely appealing :D
Jane, I like the idea of the 520 trail in the middle of it all because I need the hill work. I am getting tired of that hill kicking my butt and green river/interurban is all flat which means WIND which i detest.
I like the length you are proposing as well. Maybe we could start at Gasworks?
Hey, as long as someone can give me directions, we are there. As for the beer, I'll be sure to pack my training wheels and a seatbelt. (I'm a cheap date. :o :D)
Anybody for Sat as well? We can get up there by early afternoon. Or maybe you can give us a nice route we could do on our own. I really want to see some of that area. I've never been there before. Thanks.
So, ride between 8 and 9 on sunday?
Let's hope nobody needs the bad weather gear.
fingers crossed here....hah. I rhymed. No, I didn't get much sleep last night :D
yes, that sounds good, leave gasworks at 830am?
