Now that I have the smoothie maker, when are we going to do the next Seattle TE get together?
Maybe a pot luck? With smoothies?

We are up for it! Pot luck and smoothies. We can put the trainer/bike/blender right on the porch, which will be a hoot and entertain the neighbors.
fantastic. now all we need to do is pick a date!
My daughter and I are venturing to the west side again Feb. 8 - 10. She's dancing on Sunday, but we are, as usual, up for some fun Friday and/or Saturday night. We're staying right across from the Seattle Center. Smoothies you have to work for sound like great fun. bikerHen
Works for me.
Works for me too, I think, but I think it would be more fun to do in partial daylight, like maybe starting around 2-3 and going to early evening. That way we really CAN entertain the neighbors, and maybe the crocuses will even be up by then. What do y'all think about that time?
How about the Afternoon of Feb 9th???
YAY!
RaleighdonSon made a blueberry smoothie last night. He was so cute, he put the bike up on the highest possible gear and spun for all he was worth (he rides a fixie) and it was a great smoothie. yum.
Feb 9 sounds good to me!
I'll be gone most of that week, at a bike fitting course. It just happens to be in San Francisco, my what a nice coincidence! :D I love my job...
Sounds like it will be another great time. :cool: Just wanted to remind those of you that were contemplating going to the handmade bike show in Portland. It's Feb 8-10 as well. Don't know if that will make a difference, just a friendly reminder though.
So Mimi, do you keep it hooked up like that all the time or is there some kind of easy disconnect thingy for when you just want to spin on the trainer?
Does that mean we can bring our bikes and get a professional bike fit? :DQuote:

X, you know, I never thought of that. Right now it's hooked up all the time.
hmmm. Right now, not using the trainer for anything else. It is great exercise. I could take the blender off if i'm not using it, but not the generator, which does, after all, provide a decent resistance.
Oooh, I missed that. Good catch bikerhen. :pQuote:

We'll just have to settle for the smoothies and potluck part. bikerHen
Honestly, I'd let you ladies do a fit for me before some of my LBS guys.
For Knot - California :D
Well, when I'm done with this course we should have another party! Actually, I'll be down in Portland for some more bike fit education after the SF course.Quote:

Mmmm..can't wait to try them smoothies :D
be afraid be very afraid...
cc, it might be easier to do the Smoothie party in Seattle, since that's where the Smoothie maker is. :cool::cool:
about Feb 9, Raleighdon sounds like he wants to go to the bike show. :(:( which isn't really a bad thing, but it screws up our plans.
So bikerHen, when's your NEXT dancing daughter trip across the mountains--any idea?
Well Bummer! :( I don't think we'll be making the trip over again till summer. I guess we'll just entertain ourselves. I've never been to the Pikes Market area so we'll spend the day exploring. I'm even planing to use the buses again. :D bikerHen
Well, might be a real remote chance I might end up Seattle on Feb. 9, from that foreign country north of you. :)
And IF I did, wouldn't bringing my bike. No time and wrong time of year to cycle from Vancouver BC..without risk of rain.
so is this get-together still in Seattle on that date? Judging from some people's schedules in post...? :confused:
Well, we'll be there! And are up for some fun or get together on Saturday. And we are easily entertained with just about anything.:D bikerHen
okay. Finally got my ducks in a row. Talked to poor Raleighdon who had already made other plans. HOWEVER, he would rather go to Deena's house for our party; so mimitabby and Raleighdon are in, plus bike/smoothie maker.
Hey! We're on again. Awesome.
Will Raleighdon really be okay with this? Don't want to make that good guy unhappy...and besides, those pies...
I wouldn't have written if he wasn't okay with it.
what about the pies? Won't they go well with our smoothies?
anyone up for a TE ride too - weather permitting?
Weather permitting, yes, we're up for a ride...
Looks like we will be able to make it up there for the day. If we can get our butts moving early enough, we may make it for the ride too. When/where/how far/kind of terrain? Kit will probably bring her Kona, I'm not sure which bike I will bring.
Salsa - pot luck?
Anyone have a floor for us to unroll some sleeping bags on? Otherwise, I will try to get a hotel room nearby. Thanks. :)
Will there be Drambuie smoothies? :D:D:D
OK! Now I have to start thinking and planning. :eek: Do I bring my bike? Do I bring a bike for my daughter? Just the thought of riding a bike that's not on a trainer sounds devine. My DH has been all worried about my wanting to ride outside, and it's easier to use the trainer than listen to his minute by minute weather reports and road conditions!
Not sure about the pie reference, but if it would help, daughter and I are expert pie makers and would be happy to bring a couple over the mountains with us.
Basically I/we are up for just about anything planned. Like I said, we're pretty easy. :eek: :D All I need is a map and the time. bikerHen
Yes, pot luck. Raleighdon's pies will go WONDERFULLY with, uh, pretty much anything.
How about a morning ride, and the potluck/smoothie thing around 2-3 pm? I think daytime would be nice.
Mimi, what are the smoothie ingredients?
PS We will DEFINITELY have to post TE pictures of this. Trainer smoothies. I love it.
PPS Now if we could just get Pansy here...

Place yer bets ladies and germs. This is going to be one wild cage match. Loser to pedal the smoothie machine...
:eek: :eek: :cool: :D :eek:
smoothie ingredients
bananas
frozen fruit (whatever you like)
yogurt
vanilla extract
sweetener. (so far, we've used Pineapple juice, jam & maple syrup) you just need a little.
also a bit of milk to change consistency if necessary.
We could probably make a non-dairy kind too, so if any non-dairy types are interested, bring your milk substitutes.
ps no losers are allowed to pedal the smoothie machine
Hey Salsa,Quote:

DGF Linda and I are in for bringing potluck and smoothie ingredients...when do you expect the imported Drambuie aka gift from Bruno to arrive? :D

From Sir Raleighdon
Well ladies (and gentlemen), it looks like we're on for February 9th for a TE potluck/smoothie party. I am willing to bake one, two or three ..... or howevermany salsabike, Wahine and Mimitabby convince me I should make and bring them along. There was some mention of a ride. I would suggest, given the time of year and most folks conditioning at this point in the season, that we meet at Gasworks Park for a 9:30 am start and do one of my favorite "Alki-Out-N-Bak" routes. It is mostly flat, primarily on either bike trail, bike lane or low traffic streets. I generally ride to Tully's, though the Alki Bakery is always a good choice, as well. I have ridden all of the streets on this course recently, and aside from a couple of new winter potholes, they're in good shape. On the way back, if anyone wants, we can always do a little detour (since we go right past it) to the recently opened sculpture park at ME Park. Especially if anyone is coming from out of town, this is an awesome exhibit and fun diversion.
Signed,
Pieboy
