Riding Sunday Sept. 30

In my Ride Report, I forgot to mention the Big News, which is that Dave and Rosanne showed up on the tandem. So she's healed well enough to ride tandem. They didn't ride with us. That would have been a bit much. But they made it down to the Brewery and hopefully, back to Dave's house. Congratulations and further good wishes to Rosanne!

I went ahead and published next week's ride on the Cascade web site. (www.cascade.org) It'll be up after it's approved.

There will be three groups, Strenuous led by YT, Brisk with Orin and Dottie, and Moderate with Bill Pence. I hope that Dave and Rosanne will be there, too.

Here's what the description says:

"Goose Bumps eases into Fall
Please join us for the first ride in our fall ride series. This Sunday there will also be a Moderate group led by Bill Pence. We'll be riding the less traveled roads in and around the Snoqualmie and Snohomish river valleys. These rides are challenging enough that we train a little during the week to make them even more fun. We will ride hills, with each group having hilltop regroups. We emphasize safe, cooperative riding. Paceline skills advisable. We meet at 9:00 and start riding at 9:20, riding out of the Redhook Ale Brewery parking lot in Woodinville on 145th St. You must park in the east end of the lot."

Bikely maps for the two routes:

and 58 miles:

I'm of a mind to publish every week from now 'til the end of the year, the idea being that you attract people who want to ride every week by publishing every week. And if we acquire critical mass, we may see some of our old friends back riding with us.

Comments?

See you there!
