not at all. Last time I saw that girl she was dating a guy with a nice car to driver around in, and was still vapid and somewhat annoying. Today's garage head count is 7 bicycles between Megan and myself.

Can we get back to more important topics? Mainly, Matthew's repressed sexuality.
Thanks.

Wow, I didn't expect to kick off so much fucktardery there, but then again this is .83 -- what did I expect?
So getting on with things, yup, let's ride to Bellingham. Matthew, Lee, glad to hear you're coming. Ryan, it will not suck so much this time (how could it?).
This will be my 13th time riding up there. Lucky 13.

I believe the technical term for this is "bellinghammered".

it may also be possible to hop casual public transit, Bellingham-Mt. Vernon-Everett-Seattle. The routes designed for those distances are way cheaper but there may not be vacancy on the rack, plus they leave like three times a day, designed for ones with a routine.

Cabrón, si quiere el güey hablar como si proviene de Inglaterra, el tiene escusa por como fue creido. Si quiere llamarle una "arse" deja el güerito solo para que se suba a su bici de “aluminium.” Cállate y monta tu bici, because some of us are mixed culture kids.
Also: I won't be riding this... please take note.

I also have a ticket for me and my bike on that 8:30am Sunday train.
I will bake some tasty snacks for the ride.
Is there a group plan for a place to sleep on Saturday night?

Well fuck you guys, I'm not going. My buddy from college is coming into town from out of the country. Haven't seen him in forever. Sorry, but I need to bail, unless I can convince him that he should ride 110 miles with us.
As long as we get directions to a nighttime crash location, I will still be doing this ride. Anyone who still wants to ride too can meet same time, same place, minus bob.

goddam bobhall.
alright well you're all still invited. i'm thinking that between the couch and floor, i can probably sleep 5 (bring your own bag). pm me for the address.
Who's still in on this? Margaret says only keylime and I are in thus far.
0600, Saturday, U Village Starbucks! Be there!

Lee and I are still in. We have tickets coming back on the 8:30 AM train sunday. I think we are staying with friends of his in B'ham hence no RSVP to Margaret thus far from us.
Brandon Martin Anderson
Lee
Caroline
Mathew
Ryan Lemke
Ginger
Nick(?)
Is anybody else coming on this ride?
The last cohesive plan that was posted is Brandon's.
-Meet at 6am at the U-Village Starbucks.
I sort of like the idea of bobhall's ferry route - how long did that take you to bike, Bob? I don't, however, have strong opinions about the route and I am inclined to let Brandon navigate.

I was just posting the Whidbey Island route for fun. It's over 120 miles, and waiting for the ferry really cuts into the day. This would be a good one to do in the summer when the sun sets at 9pm.
I'm officially 50% maybe pending a knee that's acting up
Come on, foot powder and ibuprofen. Suck it up and let's ride!

I don't have a car.
If I trash my knee I am limited to Metro until it heals.
They deal crack on metro, ya'know.
