    Bike fitting party with Wahine and Knot

    Two weekends to choose from:
    March 16 or 17

    Or

    March 29 or 30

    Let us play with your bikes! (or not, if there's nothing to change!) Potluck at Knot's "Chez de Squalor" in north Seattle. Plenty of parking in the apartment complex lot, fairly easy to find from I-5, and a school nearby with a track to test ride on.

    Put in your votes, majority (probably) rules!

    March 30 would be the best day for me (no races that day ). My main bikes have been fit, so I don't think I'd want any tinkering, but I'd be happy to offer myself up as a study object. I have 3 that have been professionally fit by the same person, my race bike - 700c wheels, my rain bike- 650c wheels, and my TT bike. It might be interesting to take a look at the similarities and the differences. I do have my cross bike, and I'm not serious enough about cross to bother having that one professionally fit that could be tinkered with if there is any interest.

    I will bring the garlic-stuffed olives! Not to mention the BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED OLIVES from Whole Foods.

    Either of the Saturdays (3/15 or 3/29) work for me. Linda says it works for her calendar too and yes, we're up for a ride.
    Also, I fear that this might sound VERY differently than I intend it via email, but suffice to say that I am very happy with the fit on each of my bikes and don't want to change anything. My Rodriguez is a custom steel Stellar, which was designed by the former co-owner of R&E, Estelle. Estelle and my PT, Julie Johnson cooperated on my fit and I've been very happy all along. My Seven was custom fit and custom made to perfection also...and no offense, Knot, but I'd rather ride it than sit and model and be self conscious and all Linda, being the PTA type too, said that she doesn't want/need anything changed on her fit either, but would be glad to bring her Cannondale along and reinforce your fit training concepts. We'd both like to learn more about the yoga, stretches too...can never be good enough in that area, eh?!

    If your fit is good, it's good. No need to worry about feeling being hurt if you don't want anyone to mess with the bike. We'll talk about other stuff too. And a ride would be fun.

    I'm thinking that we leave this thread open for input until Friday evening then officially decide on a day and commit.

    Thanks...just know that I didn't want to risk slighting Knot or you in the slightest!

    If its on one of my non-race day's I'm there. If its a race day I may have to play it by ear. I have no ideas about how long my days will be anymore, since I'll be racing in the afternoons now!
