We have gone north 2 weeks in a row. Let's go south somewhere we have never gone before. How about Renton for all you milage hogs?

Where to? I don't just wanna ride around the south end.

Should we go down the chief sealth trail, and then back through georgetown with a stop off at a bar?

http://www.seattle.gov/parks/parkspaces/kubotagarden.htm
http://www.seattle.gov/parks/parkspaces/pritchardIslandBeach.htm

Any more ideas.

WE RIDE IN

It's basically Denny and I's commute to work, but let's go to Fort Dent! There are a couple of casinos and bars right nearby, too.

What if we went WEST (because going east is just silly) to the glorious shores of Alki?

Thinking that tomorrow is cm, I would vote for down the duwamish to South Park Taco, then to George Town for Bar drinks, unless the sun is out then continue down the duwamish with out door beers along the industrial river. Not the many miles (ten or so) but food fun and drinking!

Yes, we'll meet you there in, oh, 5 or 6 years. Good luck with the oceans. It's a lot easier to get to alki by heading west...

MMM loop. I guess I get to go get a light after work, again.

I do like the idea of hitting the chief sealth and then coming back through georgetown for drinks, if 26 piddly little miles is too much for this band of maniacs.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1173686
cut off at henderson, go up the hill to beacon avenue, and then cut over the freeway at albro place.

If we do that we should hike the hobo-trails through Jose Rizal again. That was fun.

I like Ben's loop. Hmm, no. I like the route suggested by Ben.

And it's fun to harass the eastside. And there are lakes for swimming.

I'd be down for this. You think we'd get hassled by anyone if we were to be enjoying fine adult beverages there?

Favorite moments:

.83 "communion" by cheap ass wine & mini-kegs & stale bread

Braxton yelling "he's wizzing on you"

Ben silently allowing a 7 minute departure time even though he kept yelling "5 minutes"

Running over Dan - oops :D

"Good girl"

"I've been thinking about you"

great ride, all. I'm a little tired, a little groggy and a touch hungover this morning, a very nice mix. I left Shorties after one beer (thx) and made it home by 12:30, showered, shaved and was in bed by 1:00. The 6am alarm was _early_. I'm taking a nap on my lunch break!

The south loop was great fun, minus the part where the bike-gods slapped me for calling out a bogus flat-tire stop to pee by giving me a BS thorn flat 10 minutes later.

Feh, I don't know what you're complaining about. You didn't have to change your own flat. In fact, I recall you partaking of intoxicants while BtAH changed it.

only because BtAH was all "who go the flat? I'll change it". I'm not going to fight that logic!
