    Bike fitting party with Wahine and Knot

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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.

    yum, food. I will bring food too.
    And I probably don't need much fitting either. But want to learn the right POSITION on the bike.

    I'm pretty much assuming that most folks won't need any adjustments, but it will be nice to have some bikes-n-bods to hone our skills on. I'm also thinking it'd be fun to do some of the yoga I got to do at the class in SF. Or at least hand out copies of the poses.

    There is a bike route from my apt compex to the beach with some great views (approx 4 miles). If anyone wants to lead that ride (TrickyTiger?) it could be a nice addition to the day.

    We're available on the 29th. The 30th we're doing the "we're almost respectable but not quite yet" thing by going to a play then immediately to an old-school punk type show after.

    Mmmm, spam. You know I almost made a poached egg with spam dish today I do have Spam Surplus at home.

    Our bikes were fit by Erik the Great but it would be interesting to see the rationale behind it and what we could be doing differently.

    On the other weekend the St. Paddy's Day Dash is on that sunday but it should be over early. Other than that, not so much going on

    Woohoo! Dh doesn't have drill either weekends, so either weekend is good for us. We're wondering if it would be okay to bring the rug monkeys?

    I might be able to make it over there...but only on whichever weekend is not Easter weekend.

    Neither of those is Easter weekend Starfish. Easter weekend is the one in between those two. It would be great if you could come.
