Seattle: Planning in advance (for once!)

[climbingbiker]

Yay - advance notice!

I am definitely interested. Unfortunately, August 20 is the best date I have until mid-Sept. Now that STP is over, my climbing buddies are bugging me to get out, but I'll try to carve out some time once a date is picked.

I'd really like to go, except I had a few questions -

1) I'm not particularly fast. Scratch that, I'm not fast at all, and I'm not a hill-person. How fast do you guys think you'll be going? Probably more importantly, how far do you think this ride might be?

2) What's a TE ride?

[mimitabby]

Fresh Sushi, TE is team estrogen!

and those rides are all fairly flat.
KnottedYet and I are not real fast riders. Maybe she'll remember what speed we went last time

Oops. Obviously not the brightest crayon in the box either.

Someone mentionned August 20th, that's would be my best date as well. Count me in!

I think she meant after the 20th -- she's doing the Danskin, which is on that day.

I might be able to come over and go, maybe with my mother in law (we are doing the Danskin together, too), if I'm available. I'll keep watching

I think Mimitabby and I went about 12 or 14 mph for the most part. A social TE ride can go whatever speed works for everyone, or if folks really want to go at different speeds we can break up into a couple groups at meet up at strategic locations. (Gateway park in woodinville, etc.)

I like salsa's idea of a ride Bothell to Redmond to the Brewery for lunch. (I've not ridden to the brewery, so Salsa is in charge of that route!! ) Red Hook ESB is my all time favorite beer. In fact, I'm drinking one right now!

Yup, Danskin triathlon is on Aug 20th. Colby and I will be rather busy that day....

Edit: more on the idea. We could meet in Bothell if folks wanted a longer route. We could meet folks who wanted a shorter route at Marymoor. Then all of us could ride together out toward the wineries/brewery. (I'm just a little fixated on the beer aspect). There is handy parking at both places, and both are easy to find from major roads.
