I'm Andrew, you may remember me from such solstice rides as Issaquah, the ride that coined the term 'Goss Stop/Filter'.
It's the longest ride of the year, lets put on some miles! I suggest Saint Edward state park. The last time I went there with .83 a guy in mascara offered me his homemade absinthe.
We ride in 23!

Good call, Summer Solstice rides are a quality .83 tradition, see for example:

And there are 3 lovely parks with T-docks in nearby Kirkland where we can scare the locals and get arrested

Ha Derrick, I had forgotten about that! Yeah, that was the man of your dreams ride too.
I heard Fred was spreading rumors that I wasn't a .83 elder so I had to set the record straight!

I'm not particularly interested in burning hours of daylight regrouping constantly on the shady Burke, or waiting another hour in the QFC parking lot for people to struggle up Juanita.
But there are ways to hustle this up and keep it interesting!
It'll be a lot easier to pull off St. Eds when the 520 bridge path opens in the fall

Good times.
Wormwood the key ingredient in absinthe is a very bitter root. I've still got some in my herbal kit from an Amazon seller.
Also, I'm still trying to find a good way to figure out where you guys end up at night since can't start the ride with you. If anyone wants to leave a heads up in the forums here is like to meet up tonight.

The twitter account is your best bet. It gets updated sometimes with locations and such. The forum rarely sees any posts during a ride.
Just a heads up, there may be a BLM rally happening for the start.
There definitely will be a rally starting at 6, most likely still there around 7. 1.5 thousand people have RSVP'd on the facebook invite, so there's that.
For those of you not in the know this is in reaction to the murder of Charleena Lyles at the hands of the SPD. In a nutshell, she called the police for help and they wound up killing her. Info here:

So, as a courtesy to a grieving community I'm officially requesting that pre-ride Westlake shenanigans are kept to a minimum.
Also, Dear Ben, I'll be yelling at cops tonight and doing my medic thing, have fun kids

I'm not of color but as someone with mental health challenges I can relate. This year even I called because i needed help with my own self observed agitation and angry outbursts. Instead of assistance to the hospital they found some warrent that I didn't know about because they filed it under the wrong name. In holding I was fearing my life was over freaking out. They denied me a phone call due to them failing to call someone in to fix the phone system. My pleas and desperation along with not receiving help escalated until I hurt my arm beating on the cell. There response is only to further discipline not get me the help I originally asked for when I had some control. They seem to escalate things just to get people they mean further hold control over to justify thier jobs.

That was my second ride.
My first ride snaked out of downtown northward, I got a talking to about checking my tire pressure from Goss when I double pinched my s8 fixie on a road seam on Fairview, and then we ended up the Northgate Shell station taco truck.

Nope, Derrick intervening and the blackberry vine patch I landed in kept it from being a ditch sleep: it was more of a "between locale ditch interlude."
I hadn't eaten all day and I topped of my first-meal-of-the-day, a 32oz barley wine, with some of John's home-made absinthe, which yes, tasted a little paint-stripper-ish.
A+ Plus Ride, would puke at Mathews Beach again.

ACAB chit-chat.
I was in holding once, Houston PD, and the officers started kicking the shit out of a Hispanic dude because he would only respond with "What?" in Spanish when they told him to "stand up and approach the window" in English. I calmly spoke up in customer service voice and explained that he's saying that he doesn't understand what's going and he doesn't speak English, this paused kicking-the-crumpled-and-crying-immigrant-on-the-floor time just enough for me to segue into translation services, bringing the battered dude into sufficient compliance for the administrative staff.
I had previously established rapport with the guy by giving him the "put your knees up" pro-tip during transport to mitigate HPD's reputation for slamming on the brakes at an intersection for the purposes of slamming "passenger" faces against the cruiser's glass separator panel.
While I'm bashing on HPD: worst food ever, though they did, at the very least, have orange-drank.

10/10 ride, full bizmuth star (element #83!) . What a great ride for my first one back post-baby, it was wonderful to see y'all. In all reality I won't be every-week riding but I look forward to seeing you all more this summer.
