Skagit Valley Ride????

[sgtiger]

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!

Just enjoy yourselves. I'm sure there will be future TE rides that we will be able to meet-up at.

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

Maybe get it bead-dazzled? It might work. But what kind of shoes would work with it?

Hi All,

I was just going to post about riding around the Skagit Valley. We WERE planning to go to Yellowstone April 10 -13, but it looks likes there's still to much winter in Wyoming. So, we are looking for another destination. The Skagit Valley is at the top of our list. Followed by, weather permitting, a trip over to the San Juan's.

MM, could you PM me or even mail me the cue sheet information you have for riding there? I've always heard it's a great place to ride but we have no idea what route to follow.

And given this is a weird weather year, would we be totally out of line to consider camping?

We would most likely ride around the valley on Friday the 11th, so if anyone IS off that day, the more the merrier. bikerHen

Hi BikerHen,
I don't have a soft copy of the cue sheet/map for the Skagit valley ride to email you, but let me check around and see if I can find a couple of options to email you, ok?
And, yeah, I remember being in Yellowstone in late May and June when there was snowfall!

I may be able to hook up and ride the 11th ... I have to work at 6pm, but would enjoy a ride if the weather is ok! Let me know what you are thinking and let's see if I can work it out.

As for camping --- plan on being wet -- it never fails around here! But lots of people do it. Just be prepared. It has been unseasonably cold over here, but hopefully that is going to improve every day.

May is generally when the orca watching picks up in the San Juans, but San Juan Island (the lime kiln lighthouse) is excellent for having hours-long picnics and drinking wine, all the while keeping the binso on the water for the orca pods to come through!

Hope it works out for you.
