Ride in Seattle area weekend of 4/28-29??

[Xrayted]

That's good for us too. How far are we going and what kind of terrain are we talking? (so I know how to pack )

See y'all this weekend!

Jane and I were thinking about 50 miles. it's mostly flat with a hilly part. The hilly part is challenging.
it's all (or nearly all) trails.

If this weather holds, it should be great.

We'll throw in a pair of rain pants since they are small and be set for the temps/terrain otherwise. I'll bring my camera and a smile. I think we at least owe you a lunch or something Mimi. Thanks for your hospitality. It is very much appreciated.
Teigyr - I am looking forward to meeting you as well. See ya Sun morning... Mimi is leading the way so we will actually find the place.

And the hilly part comes right before the turnaround

I'd say to layer because I've been on that trail when it goes from cool to hot to cold to warm. I hope to wear shorts, am not so much of a tights kind of girl.

Got a tandem date with Chris to do Mercer Island on Sunday, or I'd come along--and maybe our paths will literally cross at some point! If not, next time...

[teigyr]

salsabike, too bad! Maybe we'll run into you but if not, hopefully another time?

I look forward to seeing/meeting everyone else

This sounds like so much fun. Beats getting up at 5am to get a ride in! I might join you all if the group of friends my family is going to get together with that day can figure out if they are meeting for brunch or dinner. If I do end up riding at 6am I might see you all on my way back. I was going to ride the Burke-Gilman/Sammamish trail from Matthews Beach to Marymoor and maybe do the hill time permitting. It would be way more fun to do it with a bunch of TE'rs.

YES!!! See if you can make it. If we leave Gasworks at 8:30, we would get to Mathews Beach at, er, sounds way too much like a math problem. I don't think it would take long though and we could meet you up top or go down to the parking lot.

I'll have "you are meeting for dinner!" thoughts for your friends. At the very least though, we will see you in passing. Now back to dinner thoughts
