Slip and slide glowsticks before DBDH weekend was a lot of fun.
Particularly hilarious riding with my date back on Lake Washington Blvd and seeing her yard sale on the side of the road glow sticks and flashy lights going every which way. Concerned, I scramble drunkenly to check on her when a flood light from an SPD cruiser parked directly across the street blinds/helps us pick up and reassess the situation.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Drunkenly flying down the I-5 express lanes, mentally & physically invigorating. The illegal-ness just makes it that much more exciting.

* ice cream truck van during mechanicals
* l33t wastewater treatment fence computer hacking
* dusk on the water
* tfitz's small hibachi
* service problems at the bullpen
* .83 flags down the cops to report handicap parking violators
* sea tac hillbomb / light rail dealer's choice

As a noob rider the most fun I've had was the last carkeek ride with before the fhr. The glow stick slip and slide before the dbd was sweet also.

That ride to Alki with the sign hack was the first point83 ride Christine and I had been on since moving back from England. That may be my most memorable because it felt so good to be home. Riding bikes in the most amazing city I've ever known.

I can fill in some of that missing content at the Orient Express. You and Ben were fighting in the parking lot for about an hour. Didn't someone call the cops to report that shit bar for not letting us leave without paying something like $20 per person?

Nope, I have the next 5 days off! For no reason whatsoever.
I didn't make it out for this one, but the stories were good.
I also believe this is the ride that originated the term "Goss Filter". Back when folks would still speak to him. That would end... oh about 5 weeks later:
