Folks, thats right. I am finally in Seattle. If I can force myself to adjust to the timeframe I will be hopefully ride with you all tomorrow night. Anyone near Ballard or this side of Seattle want to meet up before hand and ride in ? I am completely lost right now. Ive got a Florida cell number so hit me up on this nerdbox and I can call you or meet somewhere easy to find ?

We're pretty easy to find. Use mapquest or google, to go from your house to 4th & Pine. There are usually a pack of folks who ride in together. I'll either be coming from happy hour or the Udistrict, otherwise I'd meet you.

i could meet up at the fremont bridge at 630 and tow you in if you want. think you can find fremont bridge? (easy, ask your way in from ballard)

an easy place to meet up is right next to the statue "people waiting for the bus right on the north corner of the bridge

let me know if you want me to be there

Derrick sounds cool. I will plan on meeting at the freemont bridge by about 630. That way I can kinda get an idea of where the hell I am at.

Looks like I scored a job this morning so I wont be out to late. What time do you all start splitting up ?

i got home and into bed at 3 am last week. i think that was last week.

you can really cut off anytime you want. usually we are out for a while, sometimes we die off early, sometimes we still hafve 25+ people at midnight

im at 491.1441. ill be at the fremont bridge on the east side (fremont side) right by the sculpture of the people waiting for hte bus

ask anyone around if you arent sure where that sculpture is, easy to find. if anyone else wants to meet up there. be there by 630 sharp!

Fucking flat tires. I keep my bike in a storage closet at work. I went in there to get some supplies just now and my back tire is flat. I suspect foul play.

What was my point? Oh, right, provided i get this shit fixed I might meet you down there Derrick. Of course there's always Jabu's... Hmmmm maybe I'll be elsewhere. Nevermind.

Yes, I plan on being at Jabu's myself. Hammering on the door at 4:30 demanding entrance and cheap beer, maybe even a pot pie!

I'll probably, more likely, get there just a bit before 5. I should try to get something productive done sometime, what I don't know, but I'll try. So probably quarter til.

Tonight I'm on a MTN bike Joby let me borrow.. I fixed it up a bit (don't worry Joby, it'll be just like it was when you gave it to me when I give it back), but it's still sloooow..
I feel like I'm pulling a shopping cart.

Yo JP Ryder, did you ever get home last night? I feel like kind of a dickface for ditching you, i didnt' realized we'd lost you until we were downtown. And at that point there was no finding you.

Anyway, sorry.

word. I was worried too, especially since you were supposed to start your new job at 9am this morning and still had a 20 mile ride home, uphill.

Whoa. Downtown at night is crazy as shit. But yeah, lost you all coming over that damn bridge. Fuck hills. But I ended up catching up to 2 folks, one on a single speed I cant remember his name. I think it had pink wrapped handlebars. We rode up Alaskan and then I cut off on Elliott to head home. Got most of the way there and called in the back up, i was not about to ride another 3 miles up hill. So yeah I got home, started my job and getting ready to go to work now. Saturday morning. Good shit. Maybe if my knees feel ok I'l ride next week.

A one way trip to Olympia, hmm. I heard they wax dolphins down there.

Oh, and good to meet you Justin! See you next week for sure and thanks for the business! Remember, when you get your .83 spoke card you get a 20% discount at my shop. Just a little incentive to get people to ride!

Thursday was a blast, even with all the flats.
