Hi itself. When are you planning to ride? I live just north of Seattle and could be interested depending on the timing.
Very cool! I'm sure it will be on my wish list soon.
I just signed up for a 2 day bike maintenance class. I will learn about all the parts of the bike, basic maintenance, deraileur shifting and...
Wow....such tenacity! Congratulations on reaching your goal. I wish you continued success in 2013.
I use to lead Spin classes and now participate in about 3 -5 classes a week. They do help condition you for outdoor rides and runs. A fun and quick way to build or keep your conditioning!
I love setting goals. This year was a great year of outdoor accomplishments for me :-) So, I have lots on my 2013 list for various activities. For cycling I hope to continue to ride through the...
There is the Interurban Trail in Everett too. It can be difficult to follow in some spots, but I believe it takes you from Everett down to Shoreline (I believe it goes further south, but I...
Thanks for the information. I may pass this along to a couple of friends that are interested in racing.
I also just sent you a PM.
Thanks!
SmittyKitty - I want to go back and do some hiking from Hurricane Ridge!
Eden, you are definitely in a different league from me. I'm not sure I could do the racing thing :)
That was very nice of you to take them in. Were they riding the Pacific Coast or ? Any good stories or interesting conversations? Would you consider hosting again?
I will consider Warm Showers...
Completed RAPSody (Ride Around Puget Sound) last weekend. It's a 2-day ride on mostly backroads (85 miles on day 1 and 80 miles on day 2). Lots of hills and beautiful views. We had great weather...
This ride officially made my 2013 Bucket List. DH would like to tag along....I think he wants to play the golf course there ;)
Wow....that's awesome. It was my very first time ever to Hurricane Ridge. I would like to return to do some of the hiking up there and snowshoe in the winter.
I'd also like to make this an...
I'm hiking Asgaard Pass during that time, so I've added it to my 2013 Bucket List! :D
I completed the ride up Hurricane Ridge on 8/5. They close the road inside the park from vehicles from 7am - 12 (noon) for the ride. I think there were about 400 riders and we had beautiful...
I also do most of my riding solo and in rural areas. I let my DH know my route and will send an update if I decide to ride longer than planned. I stay alert and dress conservatively. I have had...
I've been wanting to do this ride for a couple of years. There was going to be a large group of us riding, but most have backed out :(
I've had a great summer, but haven't ridden as much as I...
Please count me in! I've been doing WW (online) since May 2011 and it happens that my weigh-in's are on Fridays. My WW goal weight is 115#.
My weight on 7/6 was 117.4
My weight on 7/13 was 114.6...
I typically just carry water and whatever is handy from the house (Fiber One bar, banana, nuts). Sometimes I will stop and pick up something at a bakery or small store. I probably should put more...
I have a very old pair of Diadora's that I picked up for $20 (when I first started cycling 8 years ago) and a pair of Shimano's I picked up 5 years ago on sale. I'm not really into shoes I guess. ...
I just found about this the other day. Pretty cool - I admire and envy them!
Totally impressed by the six ladies riding the tour (REVE). Pretty awesome and fun to follow.
I've used a BOB for S24 trips and a 4 day trip. It worked well. I haven't used panniers, so can't compare. I do like the visibility of the BOB.
Sounds like you were prepared. Did you enjoy and are you planning any other similar rides? Good for you and thanks for letting us know.
Yes I wear a road ID on my wrist. I also carry an expired driver's license in my saddle bag with my "emergency cash".
