Skagit Valley Ride????

[sgtiger]

Have fun! <sniff, sniff> I'm attending a wedding for one of BIAK's soldiers that day.

[teigyr]

We're going to a wedding too.

Now if that wedding falls through, I'm thinking I would LOVE to ride then go to the pub

Not that I'm wishing for bad karma or anything. Just sayin'.

HAVE FUN!!! And if you do it another time, I would love to go.

[sgtiger]

Teigyr - LOL! I was trying to see if I could get myself out of attending. However, I think DH would be disappointed. The whole point was to have my little bro watch the kiddos for the whole day so we could go on a date night afterwards.

and, sgtiger, hopefully, you'll have a change in wardrobe for the wedding...and get outta that jacket that you got from Yoda!

Would Sunday the 20th work any better for anyone? Seems like a lot of people have Saturday plans? I have to work Sun at 8pm, but could still do this and get in a nap (especially if we lunch with beer!). What does everyone think?

Of course -- you all could pick a different weekend to come up -- I just have to work the rest of them.. what kind of job is THAT?!!!

No, the 20th would be tougher for me to arrange, as I already have plans to ride with another group as well as dinner plans...just wanted to respond, but it might work for many others...we'll see?

Jes - I'm thinking you should do what's best for you. I work quirky hours too and know that impending feeling of "I have to go to work", especially when it involves drinking (or not drinking) beer.

I have always thought it would be beautiful to ride up there though. I am envious of the ones that can make it!

Sorry, I'd like to join you but I doubt the NC Pass will be open by then. Given all the snow it will probably be mid-May... but I'd love to pop over for a ride sometime.
I am signed up for the Alefest ride in Leavenworth April 26, if anyone is coming over to the East side.

My commuting bike _might_ be tuned up and ready to go by the 19th. It's supposed to be delivered Friday and then I've got an appointment to get it tuned up on the 12th !!!!!!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed . . .

Sorry I am behind in my responses...work was a bit harrowing this week.

Jes...I think if we're going to all go together, we should work around you (speaking as someone who USED to work crazy-weird shift work hours, but is blessed to not have to do that anymore!).

And Knot...we can be slugs together!! I'd much rather look at tulips and chat than pedal my happy little butt off! Well I will still be pedalling my happy little butt off, but not in a I'm-gonna-kill-this-hill-before-it-kills-me manner lol

I can do either Sat or Sun, but Sat is a bit better...I like to have Sunday's as my get-ready-for-the-week day...laundry, cleaning, family dinner, church in the evening. Keeps me centered!

Anyhoo, that's my 2cents.

Kristen, not too many hills on this ride

that'd be great, jocelyn; hope you can join us!

We'll wait on Jes to confirm the date/start time...then, I can share driving directions too.

Wind I don't mind as long as it's behind me lol. I hope the tulips are blooming by then. I know they're behind this year...are they getting close to opening? I don't even have daffodils blooming yet....my tulips are up but don't have flower heads on them yet. I'm getting a bit bummed. I'm ready for more sun and warmth and flowers!
