So Salsa, when are we going to do our next TE get together?

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

Sounds great, RD! Although, if the temps are anything like this morning - brrrrrrrrr - could we push the start time to a bit later?

I'm sure we can do that. I'm answering for him because he isn't checking TE threads.

[Wahine]

I'm not going to make it this time ladies. I forgot that we have a local commitment that weekend.

Next time.

I know I've been pretty much out of this thread but if it's ok, could DH and I attend? It's iffy...I bid for my new shift next monday and it takes effect on the 9th. I THINK I'll still be able to hold full weekends but we will see I haven't ridden since, er, I honestly can't remember. I've been running though and hopefully won't have any problems.

Aw, Teigyr, you're a gnarly girl - of course you won't have any problems! And bring DH, f'sure...
Good luck on the shift bid - hang onto those weekends or maybe pitch a hissy fit?!
