Let's try this again? Anyone up for a ride to Red Hook on May 1st starting from
where? Knot? Log Boom park?
how about if we start at 10:30 so we can get to Red Hook in time for lunch. Someone else requested that we START at noon but that's not such a great idea, as a lot of us are used to getting up before dawn, etc, etc.
Who's in?
that might work, as DGF, Linda and I were planning an early ride that day. It's her birthday so I'll check w/her as to whether it fits into the day that she'd like...
Thanks for keeping this going, Mimi!
Sounds like fun but I do the CATS training rides that Cascade has on the weekends (trying to get fit and in shape for STP and RAMROD this year) other wise I would come.
Any possibility of moving the ride to the following weekend? I'm going to be in town May 7-9. Would love to see you all!
Well, I am available, and the person who wanted it moved to the 1st is not speaking up..
Anyone?
Heck yeah! Would be GREAT to see you!Quote:

I'm not sure if this is referring to me? But I posted before that I would likely be doing the CTS/CATS ride that weekend instead, so to go ahead and make plans without me.Quote:

Are we on for this Saturday? I'll be staying with a friend in Rainier Valley (I think) near Jefferson Park. Trying to figure out if I can borrow or rent a bike vs. breaking down the Dahon to suitcase size.
I'd be game for some kind of ride this Saturday. I've got a commitment from 5:00 onward, but earlier in the afternoon would work for me.
we were originally shooting for starting in the morning, like around 10:30amQuote:

Hmm . . . I will be carless as well. Maybe we could meet up and then bus to somewhere along the BG?
Wondering if people would be willing to meet at Redhook for a LATE lunch, like 2:30-3:00? That would let me do a long tandem ride with Chris in the morning, which I would very much like to do also.
Well if we can't make the ride work, how about a Sunday morning brunch? My flight leaves 2:40pm so I'll have loads of time.
I can for sure do a Sunday morning brunch, no problem.
I hope you guys can swing it! That sounds like a lot of fun -- but I'll be working!
If you don't make that ride, the Skagit Bike Club's Spring Classic is going on that day! Always a great ride, well-supported and questionable weather :D
Just a short drive North!

Are we discussing Sunday instead of Saturday now?
If so, I won't be able to meet up, as I have other plans.
Saturday morning still works for me but it sounds like meeting at Logboom is problematic for you, Mimi and Jocelyn, right?
I can be flexible to meet someplace else - near Jefferson park too...and either have a short ride or a short visit over coffee/tea?
Mary
Me, too.Quote:

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse anyone. I just wanted to suggest a Sunday, non-ride get-together in case the Saturday ride did not work out.
Mimi and I are now talking about meeting up near Jefferson Park and then taking transit to the BG, so we can still make Log Boom our meeting place. I am flexible as to our start time if that means Salsabike can meet us for lunch, but others might have time constraints.
Or maybe we could meet up with Salsa on our way back into town . . . Third Place Books, anyone?
Okay, you guys, I don't want to drive everyone crazy! Why don't you all proceed with your ride and lunch plans? I figure I could, if Chris and I plan it right, be free by about 2 pm and could either meet you for lunch OR meet you all afterwards for coffee at Third Place?
So you all decide what you want to do and I'll do my best to fit in on the tail end of it. So to speak.
OK, in reviewing all of the updates/comments, it looks like Biciclista, NbyNW and kfergos are going to be meeting at Logboom @ 10:30, right?
Then you'll maybe catch up with Salsabike post-ride at Third Place books?
Anyone else? Knott, you started this thread originally; are you in town? able to join?
I will be at Logboom too - at least to meet and say 'hi'...just not sure if I'm riding or not yet, as I'm taking care of my sweet lil grandson that afternoon. Not sure if I'll have time to ride beforehand ...
In reviewing my mileage, I think I can't ride this weekend. My legs already feel like cooked spaghetti, and I still have 60 miles left for commuting this week. Since it's Bike to Work Month, I'm going to save my biking energy for commuting. Sorry to back out, but I still would love to ride other times with y'all.
Sounds like that's the plan!
Salsabike, we'll call/leave a message when we are leaving Red Hook so we can ETA return to Log Boom/Third Place vicinity. Hopefully that will work out.
NbyNW, we'll work something out---either LogBoom/Third Place, or Sunday brunch. So yes, please do call when y'all are leaving and we'll figure it out! PM Teigyr if you get a chance...Quote:

My bike is all packed! Took me the better part of an hour to get it to fit in the suitcase, but it's all in there. I'm sure this will get faster/easier with experience. :D
See you soon!
Kfergos, please reconsider, it's all flat and we don't ride fast!
NbyNW, is your cell the same as it was (ends in 4)? Just in case I can get there earlier than I thought?
