If I'm around and Mother Nature cooperates, I'll try to attend. Maybe ride down with Z, Karen, Rocket Bob and whomever else hails from the Emerald City area.

Forecast is looking very promising for next Sunday, Karen was right! Sunny, temps, upper 50's...I'm starting to look forward to another day trip.
I will be looking at a route that is primarily backroads and hopefully free of green-yellow big bugs like the one that splat all over Z's lid this past Saturday!

Forecast still looks very good. Now to plot my leasurely "backroads" route. Last week's route was a lot of fun and very scenic. Hopefully there will be no roundabouts along the way, like the ones in Redmond. Those things are evil!! I like the roundabouts overseas much better! No forced lanes with those. See you there Bob, Andy, Soren, and whomever else shows up. I know Triumph of Tacoma is organizing a group to go.
