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.
