Social ride in Seattle on 7/10/09?

**oxysback** · 07-02-2009, 10:20 AM

Ok...just a bump for this thread since we're only about a week away. We're staying in a hotel on 25th near U-Dub, so maybe whoever wants to come can park at University Village? We can meet in the parking lot of our hotel (I'll send a private message with the name of the hotel to anyone that's interested in joining us). It'll be me, my hubby on his fancy new recumbent trike, and a friend that's coming from Wisconsin, I think.

There's a pasta place at the Village that we got to every year for dinner called Pallino Pastaria. Maybe we can start on the Burke-Gillman at 25th, then go along Lake Washington until the end of the trail and back, then have a light dinner?

Time-wise, I was thinking of starting at 3 or 4-ish. Any feedback? Anyone still interested?

Drat. Maybe a later time depending on who's interested in coming?

I'd be interested in taking part in this! I should warn you that I've never, ever ridden in a group before and really only have a month or two of cycling experience so far, but I am familiar with the Burke-Gilman, U-District, etc...

I should still be able to carve out the time. Any thoughts on route/distance? I'm just getting back on my bike after several weeks of feeling blah.

We'll just be riding from U-dub to the end of the trail (heading north) or until we decide to turn around. I'm not sure how many miles that is. Anyone know?

the trail doesn't end - it seamlessly turns into oh fooey i forget the name, but it continues east and then south.
If you mean to the top of the lake, that's about 10 miles.

This will be a social ride. No pacelines or sprinting required! You'll be fine.
