Bike fitting party with Wahine and Knot

I will be on a plane on March 29th heading east towards Pittsburgh to visit my parents. I will be gone all week long, my school's spring break and my annual trek home. Once again my schedule has not been the best lately! And before that trip Joe and I are going to eastern Washington for a visit to see our son. Either the weekend of 15th - 16th or 22nd - 23rd. Depending on Joe's volunteer work with his club and the pass weather. Always something going on it seems!

Have fun and take pictures. I think this should be my mantra . . . . ummmmmmmmmmm "Have fun and take pictures." ummmmmmmmmmm

Ah, awesome! In that case, I think either of those weekends ought to work for me. Incidentally, I am going in for a bike fitting today. Will be interested to see what they come up with. My bike seems to work fine, but I know it is not perfect just now. I am mostly going to get some more info for when I shop for a new bike.

Sounds like fun! Talk to my sister and she wants to come along too! She just got a new bike and is primed for a fitting. Is there going to be a ride? If so, Salsa, remind Chris he said he would take me out on the tandem. :D The 29-30 weekend would work best for us. bikerHen

Remember I'm over here in Spokane, just a stones throw away from Eastern. And always ready for a ride. :D bikerHen

Hey, BH, I am hoping that sometime this summer I will make it over that way...kinda been thinking of camping at Wawai (or however you spell it) down on the Snake, and doing the bike loop to Lewiston, up the grade and back around to the campground. If I get over that direction, I will let you know!

Ever done that loop, or feel like doing it? (oops a little hijack...feel free to PM)

Let us play with your bikes! (or not, if there's nothing to change!) Potluck at Knot's "Chez de Squalor" in north Seattle. Plenty of parking in the apartment complex lot, fairly easy to find from I-5, and a school nearby with a track to test ride on.

Put in your votes, majority (probably) rules!

Either of the Saturdays (3/15 or 3/29) work for me. Linda says it works for her calendar too and yes, we're up for a ride.
Also, I fear that this might sound VERY differently than I intend it via email, but suffice to say that I am very happy with the fit on each of my bikes and don't want to change anything. My Rodriguez is a custom steel Stellar, which was designed by the former co-owner of R&E, Estelle. Estelle and my PT, Julie Johnson cooperated on my fit and I've been very happy all along. My Seven was custom fit and custom made to perfection also...and no offense, Knot, but I'd rather ride it than sit and model and be self conscious and all :o Linda, being the PTA type too, said that she doesn't want/need anything changed on her fit either, but would be glad to bring her Cannondale along and reinforce your fit training concepts. We'd both like to learn more about the yoga, stretches too...can never be good enough in that area, eh?!

If your fit is good, it's good. No need to worry about feeling being hurt if you don't want anyone to mess with the bike. We'll talk about other stuff too. And a ride would be fun.

I'm thinking that we leave this thread open for input until Friday evening then officially decide on a day and commit.

Thanks...just know that I didn't want to risk slighting Knot or you in the slightest!

and yep, it'll be lotsa fun!

Eden - I would love it if you could bring bothe your road and TT bikes so I could make some comparison measurements.

If its on one of my non-race day's I'm there. If its a race day I may have to play it by ear. I have no ideas about how long my days will be anymore, since I'll be racing in the afternoons now!

Wish I lived in Seattle - not Michigan.:(:(

you're always welcome to visit - Bruno made the trek across the pond and then south from Alberta and can speak to how friendly a group we are - lotsa fun too!

I'm leaning toward the weekend of March 29-30.

It sounds like it will work for a majority of folks, and I think it will work better for me, too.

I'm good for that weekend. I imagine that we're not likely to hear from many other people, so maybe we should call it? Then the question becomes Sat or Sun? I would do better with Sat but I can still certainly make Sunday happen.

Sat or Sun would be fine for me, Sat might be better because my church doesn't get out until about 1:00 pm on Sunday. A little more wiggle room on Saturday.

And that way I can spend Sat morning frantically cleaning my Den of Squalor.:eek:
