SGT: Cafe to pub... my kind of day. I'm all in! I'm afraid that I can't be useful setting up a route in the Seattle area... but if anyone wants to come up this way (Mt Vernon area), I have several options, and a beautiful ride area. Finding a weekend that works is my only problem... my schedule sucks, but it is NOT impossible!

KG, Pika - can we do this in the Okanagan?? Are there any brew pubs in Kelowna? There's one in Salmon Arm.....but none in Vernon that I know of. Any chance we could hook this up for when CC is here? I've taken the 2 days off work, but we could aim for say 4:30 or something. Pika - could you work that in as a recovery ride in your training? :) CC - how tall are you? We should be able to find a road bike or mountain bike you can use. :) And maybe we can get the DH's in too?Quote:
Better yet, my fellow goddesses of the chaining - how about meeting up at a cafe and riding to one of the nearby brew pubs? I know I'm not ready for the multi-day tour version yet, but it might be ideal for a friendly half-day TE ride. Hmm... I hope the fates decide soon if I'll have a new addy or not. I wouldn't mind organizing it, but someone else will have to plan the route and lead. If I end up in PDX, I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to get BIAK to lead, since we won't be hurting for sitters if we move down there. Hey, each city can have their own and we can all report back here. Wouldn't that be cool?
Wouldn't that be cool?

Remind me yet again what days CC's going to be here. :)
She's arriving May 7, leaving sometime May 8. :)
We could start from Mt Vernon and ride to the brew pub in La Conner and/or to the brew pub in Anacortes and there's a brew pub in Mt Vernon also! :DQuote:

Yes, Jes, you've got lots of great routes up there; I've done a number of them over the years and it'd be a lot of fun to do a TE ride.
Is she staying at your place? So we are hoping to get together on May 7th then right? Okey dokey. I do have to work that day but I get out of school at 2:30. I'm sure we could arrange to get together that day. Brew Pubs - Well, there's Freddy's Brew Pub by the Grand Ten. What's a brew pub and why do you want one? Is that the plan for dinner?
Thanks, Knot, for hosting a great event. It was nice meeting everyone. Hopefully next time I'll have a bike to bring!
Great photos kids!
Umm KG & T..i'll contact you kids & we can arrange something. Yep, we plan on going to whistler i think on the 6th. I'd like ian to have a shot at mtn biking there. I'll just stare at the mtns & think :eek: I will keep working on my right leg & hopefully be able to jump out of the saddle by may :o
Looks like you had another great meeting of the TE'er. Sorry we miss out. We woke up to another three inches of snow saturday morning so it's a good thing we decided not to come. And did I hear up to a foot of snow in the pass? :eek: Someday it'll be spring, right? bikerHen
Wow, you guys...I'm so bummed I missed this!
I was up sick all night on Friday - something I ate, I think. Not likely a bug...but it left me feeling AWFUL come Saturday morning. :( I was back to 'normal' by Sunday though...so nothing long term.
It sounds like you had a blast! I'll definitely want to come to the next one!! Thanks for taking and posting all the pics, too. :)
GLC1968, I'm glad you're feeling better. We did miss you, though.
I'm looking forward to meeting up with you at future TE gatherings
~Sg:)
It looks like you all had so much fun! I am jealous but will (keep fingers crossed) be there next time.
Jes, I'm right there with you about the core strengthening. I have to do something and it's difficult to do it on my own because how do I know I'm doing it the right way?
Knot, you have a nice house :D
I'm glad you all were able to ride. I was in Las Vegas Saturday a.m. and had to be outside and was too hot. I got back Saturday night and had to be outside at Boeing Field and it was snowing :eek: I didn't bring a jacket or umbrella because I was thinking about Las Vegas and not here. I guess I learned my lesson. The cute/funny thing was we were taking a group back here that had been gone several months. As I was out in the rain/snow, I was talking to one of the guys who said he actually had missed the weather and he was happy to see it. I don't think all of them felt that way though, there were many pained expressions when we landed :)
We missed you too, Teigyr...glad that you got out of the cold and all sounded like it went well for your work trip.
Are you and DH around/interested/available for the Skagit ride? See other NW thread, ok?
