Last year I bailed, but this year I really want to ride to Matthews Beach and watch the Polar Bear Swim. Anybody know if there's gonna be one this year? And what time?

You are a stud muffin! I tried to google, and got a bunch of stuff about last year's swim.

There's an annual ride from Leshi on New Year's that I'll probably do (unless it will get me in too much trouble from my coach.....) Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I talked to someone at the gym who does the polar bear swim! I wish I could go but I work that day. Grrrr. Having sat-mon off this bid has been nice unless I want things like Christmas and New Years off
I look forward to hearing about it. I think I'm going to swim on sunday (ahem, any NW people who want to go to coached swimming?) and other than that we're not doing much. Am looking forward to it.
