100lbs - (LHT+slumbf+rohloff+panniers) = 53lbs
53lbs / (6.58 lbs per gallon of alcohol) = 8 gallons of problem juice.

Take your medicine folks.

The way it actually went down:
7:40 depart Westlake.
8:20 strange German drink on top of I-90.
8:45 we stop to wrap everyone's bikes in glow-sticks. Awesome
9:30- 11:00 roller-skating in Bellevue. Double-plus awesome
11:37 Chase shows up on I-90 trail with party fins. He either laid an entire swimsuit team or won every single track race at Marymoor
12:00-1:30 - Boxcar
1:31 Joby goes home
1:45 Derrick tries to enforce his will on Jack in the Box
1:57 group arrives at Fremont firepit.
2:23 everyone wonders where Joby is
2:26 the group decides Joby is a pussy
2:33 everyone texts Joby, letting him know he is a pussy
2:50 we talk a girl riding a Merckx into stopping at the fire. Also, nice legs
4:00 the group abandons the firepit
4:30 breakfast at 5-point
4:31+ everyone hopefully makes it home in one piece and shows up to the tests that they have to give in the morning

Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!

I had a string of flats, and after making a last minute attempt to fix my spare at wlc and arriving at the 90 overpass in time to watch you all ride slowly away over the bridge, said 'fuck it' and had drinks all night in Ballard - WITH A LADY!

I consider it the best ride fail I've ever had. Are there photos of the glowstix?

Also, yes to lunch at noon.

.83 craft time with the glow sticks meant a good 5 minutes of silence - it was impressive.

Joby: espresso beans, copious booze (blood of bicycle jesus since it's Dead Baby Downhill season), glow sticks, bowling, and the agenda keeping were great. THANK YOU!

Fantastic: stopping for a mechanical less than one block from Westlake, the construction workers letting us through their site even though the road was closed.

Annoying: roller rink wouldn't play livin' on a prayer.

skating & glow stick pics to follow.

I missed Joeball in a linen suit? Dammit.

Oh and sleep was compromised from giant green creepy glow emitting from my bike all FREAKING night.

(but that was my favorite part of the night, yay glowsticks)

Not quite, but I did gather the remaining mass of a soon to be groom in his wedding attire from the planter strip across from the boxcar. So text BtAH with that dry cleaner recommendation. Finally loaded with 6 people in a 2 door Honda Civic they were delivered home and the not-so-angry-more-lovey hippy gave me rip on the cheek when I tried to get them out of the car.

Yeah, sorry if, among all the snark, I forgot to mention how absolutely fucking fantastic this ride was. Thank you for planning and successfully executing a totally ridiculous night.

And for those of you who stayed tuned, (I'm assuming this is no one, but just in case) I made it. I'm proctoring the exam at this very moment.
