MM_QFC, Salsa, and NbyNW went for a damp ride - it may be summer in some parts of the country. This isn't one of them.
They found me buying some tea in a shop across the street from the brew pub.
Yes, I had my camera with me. No, I didn't get a picture of the famous Mick Jagger fries. Guess we'll just have to go back.
Was good to see y'all, and hopefully I'll be back on my bike soon!

I nearly fell into a carbo coma on the way home!
Between me forgetting my shoes, Salsa feeling a bit under the weather and the trail being overtaken by a massive fundraiser, we elected to keep it short and easy. Let's not kid ourselves -- the Mick Jagger fries were the main event!

Ladies, it was fun! Looking forward to doing it again."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

I can't believe I missed this. I'm here in Seattle until the 27th for work from Hawaii with a brand spankin' new Bike Friday. Oh well. I'll make sure and check these boards when I return in August!

Hi hulagirl! If you're around in September you might want to do Cycle the Wave. A bunch of us usually do that ride.

I'll be here the weekend of Aug 27-28. I read about the RAPSody Ride but 170 miles 1 week before my Disneyland half marathon may not be the best idea. ;-)
Anything else going on that weekend I should consider?

My husband and I were on the Centennial Trail that day for what was "supposed" to be a long training ride for the STP. After starting in Machias and going for an hour hollering HEADS UP!!!!!!
about 50 times we gave up and went home. There were several close calls with people not even looking up where they were headed...one guy ran off the trail as I approached him and hollered "HEADS UP" in my best mom voice. 
The rain didn't help, but we would have stuck that out... hordes of Canucks taking over the whole trail were just a little too much for us that day.
I wondered if you had encountered that group. Hope to catch up on another TE ride sometime if it happens."Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far"

Yes, it was the same group.
The ride organizer is a Canadian company, but that doesn't mean all of the riders are Canadian.2014 Bobbin Bramble / Brooks B67

yes, we saw plenty of riders and learned that they were on their 2nd day of their fundraising ride, which started in Vancouver, BC. We had to also yell the same to alert many of the riders, as they had their heads down per the rain and/or fatigue. It was understandable and manageable as our short social ride that day was way easier than theirs!
Hope you have a fun, safe STP!
Mary
