it looks like the rain has mostly moved on but the warmer weather has remained. let's ride bicycles. maybe go investigate some of the damage?

prefunktification at the college inn pub, around 6pm.

Since that would be newspeak, it might be appropriate. Maybe: BIKE GANG IS FOR FUN!

;)

BIKE GANG IS FOR FUN! <== Click there for the map, duh!

I'm sore in the knees and the back from riding up all thems hills on my hipster killing machine. Fun ride, and I'm glad my food was warm still at golden gardens.

What was the state of the Golden Gardens road? I thought it had disappeared in the storms.

Maybe if you'd actually gone north of 113th you might have seen something.

Also, you missed a good chance to see if those Olympic Manor folks had their Xmas lights up yet.

Sorry I missed it; I was learning to snowshoe/boring my kids to sleep at REI.

Could you get around it? It didn't look like you rode up and went a different way around.

I missed the ride for what will be a constant excuse for December. I'm busy building a new bike workshop in my basement. The wall in mostly framed. There will be a wrench party in Jan/Feb once it's done -- then I'll have tons of workspace.

That hole was monstrous. And awesome. Yeah, there was about a three foot lip of the road left that allowed us to get around. Laying next to the edge and looking down in was grand. I want to go back and take pictures! Maybe I will...

Those hills killed me.

Yeay for good rides! Thanks for kickin my ass guys.
