    yeah right. By training, do you mean, breathe in and breathe out? then you'd better start now.

    Unfortunately, this is one I can't make. Definitely too late in the day for me, and yes, I will have been at work, and will get to go to work that same evening.



    On the other hand, I did manage to get all the way to the end of Big Soos Creek yesterday. Hurrah!

    be careful out there
    A guy in our bike club that lives way up north (bellingham) fell and broke his hip and femur on black ice yesterday! He had hopes of going to France to ride in the PBP Paris Brest Paris 1200 km ride. Now he has hopes of riding in 8-12 weeks.
    He's an extra cautious guy but he was in training for the PBP... more will be revealed. Fortunately our ice days are behind us for now.

    You gals are too cool, plus I think Mimitaby has plans to lure me to try a bike with a Brooks.

    That could be dangerous since my LBS has em and I don't like my commutermbile saddle....

    You can never own enough bikes! I would love to buy a fitted (head to toe) Rodriguez Bike! In fact when my two lovely children gradute from college (son June 2008 and daughter 2009) I am definitely in the market for one! But I do love my trusty old "RED" which is a 2002 wsd trek 2200. We have been in many rides together over the past 4 years! My bike before Red was a beautiful silver Schwinn Voyageur II which was stolen during my off years of cycling (raising the kids years). And before the Voyageur II I briefly owned a used Raleigh, which I sold to buy the Schwinn. Besides Red I own my mountain bike, which is also a trek, it's a 2005 trek fuel EX7 wsd. And there's my old Schwinn hardtail hanging honorably in my garage. OH . . . I did own two other bikes which I gave away. One to my friend and one to my son off to college. These were "starter" bikes. After a long time off the saddle, because of kids and other things and the loose of my Voyageur I didn't know if I wanted to put the money into another good bike. Bought them at garage sales and finally decided I wanted a good bike and bought RED.

    BSC was actually quite good. Amazing how one day can melt that ice and snow. There was one slick spot, which I avoided by using my mountain bike as a real off road vehicle! (you aren't supposed to ride bikes on the horse trail at BSC).

    A lot of walkers/runners out yesterday, getting their fix in. Not too many cyclists though.

    Today I am going to Sumner, and hit the Tacoma Orchid Society show and sale at Windmill Gardens. Might ride the bike back from Auburn though.

    Bike Expo is the same weekend as this ride.
    So, I am hoping it will be Saturday and not sunday because we always volunteer at a booth at the Expo for The Redmond Cycling club.

    Whether I ride or not, my bike is still available for Trek.

    At this time we're planning to do the Trek To RedHook ride on Saturday Feb 17, in the afternoon between lunch and dinner. (late-ish like that because Trek gets in VERY late friday night.

    Mimi, when I looked for info on Bike Expo I could only find something that said it was March 10-11. Am I missing something?

    Maybe we could have a TE to BikeExpo event, too! (more bikes, more better!!!)

    If I understand it correctly...the "Trek-bike n' bite" is happening on Presidents Day weekend so, no, it won't conflict with Bike Expo, which is on 3/10 & 11, as you noted. I'm volunteering on Saturday morning, so if anyone registers for the STP ride, give me a shout-out, willya?!

    And, I'd love to join you all for the Redhook ride, but coincidentally, I'm headed to Trek's neck of the woods during that same (Prez day) weekend, first to Calistoga and then to follow the Tour of California (starts 2/18) for the Bay Area stages, so have tons o' fun, everyone.
    Tailwinds!

    This is very odd, the swap meet is definitely on the 18th, ...

    I just called the Cascade Bike club. the swap meet is in Feb and the
    expo is in March, as everyone has reported!

    That might be good or bad... but it's different.
    So at least that means our bike ride will not be endangered in any way by the Bike expo.
