Looks like we will be able to make it up there for the day. If we can get our butts moving early enough, we may make it for the ride too. When/where/how far/kind of terrain? Kit will probably bring her Kona, I'm not sure which bike I will bring.
Salsa - pot luck?
Anyone have a floor for us to unroll some sleeping bags on? Otherwise, I will try to get a hotel room nearby. Thanks.

OK! Now I have to start thinking and planning.
Do I bring my bike? Do I bring a bike for my daughter? Just the thought of riding a bike that's not on a trainer sounds devine. My DH has been all worried about my wanting to ride outside, and it's easier to use the trainer than listen to his minute by minute weather reports and road conditions!
Not sure about the pie reference, but if it would help, daughter and I are expert pie makers and would be happy to bring a couple over the mountains with us.
Basically I/we are up for just about anything planned. Like I said, we're pretty easy. All I need is a map and the time. bikerHen

Yes, pot luck. Raleighdon's pies will go WONDERFULLY with, uh, pretty much anything.
How about a morning ride, and the potluck/smoothie thing around 2-3 pm? I think daytime would be nice."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

Place yer bets ladies and germs. This is going to be one wild cage match. Loser to pedal the smoothie machine...

DGF Linda and I are in for bringing potluck and smoothie ingredients...when do you expect the imported Drambuie aka gift from Bruno to arrive?

From Sir Raleighdon
Well ladies (and gentlemen), it looks like we're on for February 9th for a TE potluck/smoothie party. I am willing to bake one, two or three ..... or howevermany salsabike, Wahine and Mimitabby convince me I should make and bring them along. There was some mention of a ride. I would suggest, given the time of year and most folks conditioning at this point in the season, that we meet at Gasworks Park for a 9:30 am start and do one of my favorite "Alki-Out-N-Bak" routes. It is mostly flat, primarily on either bike trail, bike lane or low traffic streets. I generally ride to Tully's, though the Alki Bakery is always a good choice, as well. I have ridden all of the streets on this course recently, and aside from a couple of new winter potholes, they're in good shape. On the way back, if anyone wants, we can always do a little detour (since we go right past it) to the recently opened sculpture park at ME Park. Especially if anyone is coming from out of town, this is an awesome exhibit and fun diversion.
Signed,
Pieboy
