OK all you Seattle area locals (and anyone else that feels like treking down or up...uhhum...CELT/Soren)...and I know your out there. I didnt get to ride at all in last weekends nice weather. There are some new faces popping up on here and Id like to meet em. Here is what I am proposing.... The Meet Date: Satrunday May 31st Location: Starbucks in Snoqualmie Time: 10am The Ride 1: Snoqualmie to Snohomish (202 to 203 to some side roads into downtown Snohomish) The Destination 1: Picadilly Circus for a British lunch…or tea or whatever. About 50 miles form the starting point at Starbucks. The remainder: From Snohomish I was thinking a ride up SR9, around the back of Lake Stevens then on to Camano Island. Do the Camano loop then take Marine Dr south thru the Tulalip Res, back to SR9 then home or wherever (Karen and like the fish joint on the corner of Av D and 2nd so we may do dinner there). This is about 153 miles from start back to SR9. Could make for a nice leisurly ride, probably some nice rest stops and great scenery and of course some sweet bikes with some really cool riders.

Hey Z,
I totally forgot but I can't make this one. The fiancee and I will be at the Gorge to see Rush and then camping there overnight.
I am up for anything the following weekend if it is nice though. Things at work are finally winding down so I will be having a lot of freetime on my hands! Woo hoo!

I'm definitely interested in the ride if it's still a "go". That said, I've got a Saturday night conflict so I may have to bail after Picadilly Circus part. Sounds fun.

You guys and this forecast are killing me!!! Now that I have graduated to a cane and have more movement with my left arm, maybe I can sort of jog behind? I need the exercise!! I promise, I'll stay away from the sides of the road on the turns!! 
It's that or I stay home, fire up the grill, drink beer, skim through my Haynes Manual and admire the Triumph calendar Brent sent me last month with my big order.
Its good to know your out there and moving around now! You can always drive out and meet us for java. I have a sissy bar I can put on Karens bike...you can ride on the back

well...Karen and I made it over to the "bucks" and met up with BlackBeaty (Dustin)...chatted and then rode. A couple other Triumphs were spotted on the ride...all going the wrong direction...LOL. Favorite part of the ride was the section between SR203 and SR9 (High Bridge Rd/Elliot Rd)...great twistys at good speeds. Only a couple 15mph turns and those werent bad at all. Good road conditions and a fun ride. Definately highly recommended for a ride thru again!
Dustin...Karen and I had a great time meeting, riding with you. I look forward to another ride.
I forgot to take pictures so maybe Dustin can post what he has on the cell.
