Seattle TE ride!

[NbyNW]

So I'm about 90% back in Seattle, woohoo!

Anybody want to go for a ride? Something nice and easy, as a few of us were chatting on another thread about being woefully out of shape.

We could do something close by, like the good ol' Burke-Gilman.

Or if we're really ambitious we could go further afield. Like maybe that Skagit Valley ride that we talked about a few years ago that never happened.

... and there's always the destination of Mick Jagger Fries in Snohomish.

I'm thinking May 14 or 15. Any takers?

[KnottedYet]

I can't, I've got a big shin-dig that weekend.

But we need to have a ride!

[Biciclista]

I'm in a workshop that weekend, sorry. June is a better month for me, May is insane.

If a date firms up.... .... maybe, possibly, maybe we can come up, if it seems like I won't be in class or in clinicals. I mean, if it's convenient for everyone else, too... summer break here starts June 12.

[NbyNW]

I would be open to a later date. Is Memorial weekend a possibility or no? Something in June perhaps?

[bmccasland]

I'll have to look at my calendar at work and get back with you. By June (as it seems we're getting to), I'll have my road bike uncrated and refit.

Hey J! Glad to welcome you back - 95% - yea!

I'd love to join a ride too, but it'll have to be June; my AIDS ride is that mid-May weekend - in Atlanta.

And, yes, with a large section of the BG closed for a lengthy time, it'd be great if we could enjoy a ride up on the Centennial trail - then share our Mick Jagger fries find following - yum!

I think by June I will be ready for a TE ride!

I'm recovering from a back injury. I'm starting (finally!!!!!) to feel better. It's been a long long winter for me.

[NbyNW]

It's good to be back. DH is visiting tomorrow and rumor has it that he is bringing the weather with him from up north. So if it snows tomorrow you know who to blame

What part of the B-G is closed and for how long?

Hi!!! Oddly enough this is the first time I have scrolled through this site for ages. If you keep in mind I have *not* been on a bike since I don't know when, I'm good for an easy ride. Long dramatic story that involves marathons and stress fractures but I am back to semi-activity and I'm sure I can get the cobwebs off the bike I've been crosstraining like a fiend so I wouldn't be completely useless. Am glad you're back!!!

And for any PNW types - I should be on my bike. I am bike adverse lately and have been on the indoor trainer but am open to actual riding suggestions.

[Biciclista]

hey Teigyr, the weater is great! I've been riding all winter and I don't have to make any wardrobe changes... been wearing the same stuff for 6 months now!!

[teigyr]

M, I am not hardcore like you are. For running I like this gray and overcast weather, for cycling I prefer 65 deg or higher with only a gentle breeze (not wind!) to make it pleasant. I am extremely fickle and fair weather

[Kitsune06]

Hey Teigyr lady! Long time no see!

[teigyr]

Hi Kit

Yeah, I am a slacker. This site is blocked from work now and most of my quality internet time is usually when I'm there. I also haven't been on my bike since, well, I don't know. I would muster up the energy and chance of saddle sores, however, to ride with you all again! I do think of you when I'm down in Portland (do the marathon every year), etc. I hope things are going great for you!

[NbyNW]

Great to see you back, Teigyr! Hope you can join us for a ride if we manage to schedule something.
