just make sure you get on the 740 train, you'll be back (and conveniently in downtown) by 10, plenty of time for any reasonable concert.

Yeah, the trains are never late. It's a good thing they have dedicated passenger rail lines, because if the trains had to share with freight traffic, there might be delays.

brandonnnnnnnnnnnn

i'm so glad that i checked this forum when i did. i'm in for the 16th if all goes well.

i totally broke my arm in hawaii. i had the best intentions of training and riding bikes around maui while i was on vacation and getting all strong and instead i boofed myself.

but guess what!!!!!!!!! my sentance is potentially over on january 28th and then i'm BACK in action and there seems to be a trend in my life where i get my arm freedom back and brutalize my ass on a century ride to bellingham. (i did it this july after i got done having a broken elbow for 2 months) i could even be talked into the ride back the next day if anyone is feeling really masochistic.

I am riding this. I am staying the night in B-ham.

Hanging out with a friend in B-ham Sunday and not sure when I'll be coming back. I might have the friend rack my bike and return it to Seattle on Monday so I can take bus/train on Sunday. Not sure.

Trying to figure out a place to stay on Sunday. Any backups if my crash options fail?

i think that's my plan too. the train leaves at 730, so that'll give us a decent deadline to get up there. i can't find information on bike accommodations though - it's not letting me reserve a bike hook like usual?

Dude, where are you gonna camp? It's a pretty long ride back to Larrabee from b'ham, and after you have some boundary bay beers in you it might sound like a hellish ride back.

I might be able to score some floor space with my many contacts in town. I think we should all crash in the HUB. They might let us...

Hey Y'all,

I spent all the day long building up a tandem recumbent for this ride, and now I need a stoker. This will involve, basically, sitting in rolling lawnchair all day. Who's up for it?

Do I get to pedal? Or do you just sit there? Count me in!

By the way, do we have an Officer of Whiskey Acquisition and Distribution for this trip, or are we just gonna rely on grassroots efforts?

By the way, when are we meeting tomorrow?

Meet at the U Village Starbucks at 5:45, to leave at 6 AM.

The stoker on the tandem recumbent has the option of pedaling, yes.
