Pretty fun ride. The fire was huge, the cops were cool and nobody got pregnant.

Jon Grover did a fantastic job putting the calendars together.

/Hat tip.

There was a small contingent that splintered to the Five Point around 2am.

Dear Colin,

Hauling is hard.

I'm definitely posting late due to hangover.

Great ride! It was definitely a good opportunity to see some people I haven't seen in awhile (Hi Monica! Hi Christine!), and an awesome interaction with the SPD.

Note to self: While somewhat tasty, those WLC hot dogs should not count as dinner.

Awesome fire, pics coming shortly. Cop interaction was the best.

The fire must have done something right because I've had the most productive 3 hours this morning at work in ages.

Dear Haulin Rogelio, I'm pretty sure his scheme is to build enough trailers that there is always someone else to carry all the shit for him.

I'm glad Jon didn't get arrested so we could enjoy calendar time at the Sloop.

PS, I woke up with my vagina full of sand, as is tradition.

seriously - i may have been a smidge hung-over, but today's been the best work day of 2011. note to self: fire + forgetting dinner + hot toddies = success?

thanks everyone for being the best. thanks jon for the awesome-tastic calendars. thanks to everyone who let me drunkenly scribble on my photo - you made me feel beautiful and important and like a natural woman.

I came in appropriatly hungover, smelling like pine trees and bonfire, and unshaven. I got a $15 starbucks card and a $50 Macy's card, and was there on time so there's that.

Jon, the calendar is great and y'all are my favorite people in the world. I'll get twisted with y'all around a giant fire anytime.

Are there any calendars left? I had to split directly from the beach for home.

My favorite moment of the night was 3-wheel-motion when I clipped a curb with my loaded trailer. It was an amazing save to not have it tip over, but I think only one other person saw it.

At this moment I believe there are 11 unreserved calendars left. If you want one I can easily add you to The List.

Had a fucking blast, thanks to all who hauled fire and liquid fuel to the best damn bonfire that beach has ever seen!

You and Jimmy are now both on The List.

Also, I forgot to mention that:
1) Whoever ordered pizza at the beach (Kalen?) is a fucking hero and I love you forever, and
2) Miles is also a hero for hauling my bike and my fat ass in a trailer to the Sloop. That was great!

Excellent. Do you want to arrange an exchange, or just do it on the next ride?

I can't wait to upload some pictures when I get home, so many funny ones. My favorite moment was when the dude with the beard (who was that?) shot a bottle rocket out of his mouth and his beard literally caught on fire (and I have photos to prove it).

Sad I couldn't make it to the Sloop, I crashed (and demolished my hip) pretty hard on the way there when I caught my tire on some uneven road surface, thanks to the guys who stopped to make sure I was okay, I can barely walk today and I've been forced to crawl up and down stairs. ouchie!

I wish I could've seen the calendars, looks like I will have to buy one from you Jon!

woo!

It was shot out of my beard and I have the hole to prove it. When a tall boy is at stake, one does not hesitate. fun times.

Pedicab guy at Westlake was telling Colin and me that he talked to one of us at Goldies the other day. He couldn't remember who exactly, but that it was some bearded guy on a bike. We may need some additional diversity.

Holy fucking shit I was hungover this morning. Work up at 4AM and again at 8:30 AM to puke. Still made it into work by 11AM though, and am now feeling human.

I need to remember to not drink Coors ever again. Or at least not, uh, however many I had. Pretty sure it was a full 6-pack of tallboys. And a tecate, and then that awesome tasty Nightwatch at the Sloop.

Calendars? If possible, imma want one.

As is my usual modus operandi (as you will likely come to find out in the future), i'd like to put out a blanket apology for either offending, or not offending, everyone or those in particular for any actions I did, or failed to do, last evening. No deliberate disrespect was intended, unless that was what you wanted, in which case no deliberate respect was intended.


Can't wait for next Thursday!

After my third blowout (second complete detonation) I was ready to hire that guy to pedal me to Golden Gardens.

Did you wind up actually taking her glossy-eyed, really-not-that-drunk friend back in a trailer?

.83, I think you're really cool.


I like to think of myself as a service-oriented individual. If there's one thing Saturday morning cartoons taught me, it's that the world needs more Joes, and fewer Cobra.

My favorite memory of this night was when I stumbled very late to the fire and Sweeny said I was already drunk, when in fact I was not, just my legs were very wobbly from riding 20 miles in granny gear with three trees attached to my trailer.

http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Hauling-Trees

I tried to ride to Kent, but my legs gave up by the time I hit South Park, so I just rode back to Burien, stashed the trailer at my parents house, spent an hour sleeping in their kitchen, then walked to take the bus back to Kent. I probably would have made it to Kent, had I not been riding my shitty knobby mountain bike. The frame is too small for me and I have to stretch out my hands in order to reach the handlebars.
