My vote goes to Yuan Fu.
I love Italian food.

I'd love to go but 6 hours and 300 miles of driving is a little much...
If he could comment on what size and type of tires and wheels he'd recommend (or positively say NO to) I'd love to hear what he has to say.
I really don't want to ride the hybrid, but it's got the right wheels... the Portland would be more comfy, but I'm concerned about the 24 spoke wheels and 700Cx28 tires...
What to do?

I can make this. I plan to be there.
I don't know if I can make dinner unless it's quick or you make a really compelling argument for me to leave work early (hint: it's not that hard!). I don't know the mentioned spots....our usual Pike haunt is Nuwano Hana - but it wasn't that great the last time we were there....too salty...and Zen, you probably wouldn't like it....no fried pickles, and it's a sushi place!

I can't make it, darnit. My pet sitter is coming over to get the key and watch me and the dog walker give Bailey his subcutaneous fluids, since they'll have to do it while I'm gone. What a fun evening.

I'd like to hear a recommendation for tread pattern. The biggest tire I could fit was 26x1.5 (38 mm), and I had 2 choices: Serfas Drifter and Panaracer Pasela. I chose the Drifter with inverted tread. It gave good traction and shock-absorption, but turned out to be a mud-slinger. See photos. Maybe the Panaracer would have been a better choice.
