I may be up for a 50-miler tomorrow morning, starting really early from my place. I'd go from here to Gasworks park / in front of Urban Surf, which is the starting point for the Ultraskates, then over to Redmond, then back to my place at the Burke + 147th intersection, which is roughly the 15-mile marker from Redmond.

This assumes a 10mph pace, 5-hour total ride. It also assumes it's not going to rain!

Timeline would be
- 7 a.m. - leave my home at 147th & Burke
- 8 a.m. - Gasworks (10 miles)
- 10:30 a.m. - Marymoor Park, Redmond (25 miles)
- 12 noon - back at my place (15 miles)

So if anyone wants to hook up along the trail and catch all or some of the ride, let me know and I can probably estimate within a 10-15 minute window, we can connect by cel.

Hmm, as you know by now, your pace is a lil faster than mine (though ive improved some with the pulse under me) but it might be fun to meet up near my place (u village) and ride with you to gasworks, ive never gone that far west. Id prolly head back to my house from gasworks, but who knows. I think you have my cell and i have yours, itd be nice if we could firm up plans before the morning. From what i hear, things look good weather-wise tomorow.

Side note: you do know tomrow is v-day, right? your wife must be awesome to let you out of the house for that long. Me, im single, nobody cares where i go Cool

Yep, the best laid plans... so I'll be heading out at 9 a.m. now, thanks for being flexible -- see you on the trail Dave!

Where are you Sheldon!?

I'm thinking about a Monday ride, I'll have no school and no work that day. I'm planning a 50 miler... maybe going more depending on daylight and how I'm feeling.

Cool! Sheldon drop a line if you end up riding the Burke again, and if you know what time you'll be in my hood, I'll skate down to the trail if the timing works out. We're just doing some shopping mid-day but I should have some window late morning and late afternoon.

Been some great rides lately -- Dave is smokin' the Burke like a crack addict (but not a nicotine addict) and I just got out on Greenlake yesterday with Meester Alldred. A killer couple days of 30-degree dryness in between snow.

Tomorrow morning if the weather holds up, I'm aiming for the same plan, a steady 10mph for 50 miles...

Timeline would be
- 7 a.m. - leave my home at 147th & Burke
- 8 - Gasworks turnaround (10 miles)
- 9:45 - Woodinville park
- 10:30 - Marymoor Park, Redmond (25 miles)
- 12 noon - back at my place (15 miles)

The alternate plan would be to cut the last 10 miles off and just head straight to Redhook Brewery at 11 a.m. for CARBOHYDRATES Smile

*IF* the weather holds, id love to join you tomorow, i might catch up with you on your way back from gasworks, around my place. It would be great to catch a beer afterwards. IF youre concerned about pacing, a good alternative might be to meet at the woodinville rest stop (id need driving directions) and then i could join you with a lil more energy up to redmond and back to woodinville for some beers. Basically, i just need to know how concerned you are with maintaining 10mph. Hit me up.
