Hope everyone got out today!

Hey Seattle and surrounding area gals - its another great day here in the PNW. If you've ever thought you might want to wet your toes in the racing scene Tuesday nights at Pacific Raceways (down near Auburn) there is a Women's circuit series. It's run on a completely closed course - since its a car racing track on other days and there are two categories - not only cat 4, but a complete beginner one too - for people who have never raced. I'm going down to be a mentor tonight, though I will probably be with the junior boys again.
If you are at all interested the race starts at 6:30, but I would suggest being there at no later than 5:45/6:00 to get registered/changed and warm up once or twice around the track.

Me . . . race? But I think it would be fun to watch! I'll check out the link and maybe some Tuesday night I will stop by and watch!

Would love to watch! I think racing would be dangerous for the others, I still unclip when I corner sometimes

It was so beautiful today! I was going to ride 25 miles and extended it to 30 just because.

Knotted, I was also on the BG to the Sammamish River Trail! I left from Matthews Beach at noon. Maybe we saw each other in passing

Susan126, I will have to check out riding down there. It looks SO incredibly beautiful! It looks like there aren't many cars either.

Today truly was perfect!

Teigyr, there are many quiet back roads down here. This summer, when I am off, I will post some rides. If anyone would like to join me please do! I have a few favorite routes that I just love!

Wow, you guys, I can't believe your weather in Seattle. Over here in PA, we have had HOWLING winds all day long. Serious, yucky, gusty, knock-out-power and make cyclists go home and cry winds.

Eden, does that beginner series have beginning TTs?

[teigyr]

Susan126, yes I would love that! I long for those kind of roads and riding in scenery as opposed to putting miles on the bike. I am definitely interested

I'm here in Seattle for a conference this week and it's beautiful! What's with all these previous complaints about rain and cold - you mean it's not always this way here?

that series is just circuit races - there are several TT's left in the season and anyone can feel free to race them - no experience necessary since its just you and the clock. To find the entire Washington schedule go to www.wsbaracing.com
Of course anyone who wants to sign up can race any race - I just wouldn't recommend it..

Thanks! I know nothing about racing...didn't know what a circuit race was!

I have always thought about wanting to try TTs.
