If you're confused, this started from a thread jack in the Broadway Bomb thread.

Sunday I'm going to ride from Red Hook towards Redmond until I hit the 6.55 mile mark then return for a well deserved beer. I did just shy of 10 miles on Sunday, my longest continuous pump ride to date and I know I'm not ready for the 1/2 marathon but I'm just dumb enough to do it anyway. I'm not racing, just riding(not that it should stop anyone else from going all out). I figure it's a good warm up for Ultraskate, as if a real reason was needed.

I've talked to Blake about it and he's in, Fred(Redline) will be getting an email really soon to see if he's down. Can I get a head count? Who else is interested? What time is best? My wife's on call all day so anytime after 9:00 is great for me.

hey just so you know the brewery is around the 5.5 mile mark of the trail. if you want to hit the full 6.55, I would start at Wilmot park in Woodinville. James set up a perfect out and back half marathon with a turnaround at Wilmot, just south of the water fountain and bathrooms. Heading towards Redmond, you would turn around just past the 1 mile mark, immediately before crossing the bridge.

wish i could make it! i need to be home by 9am so i'm riding early. have a great ride.

SkateKi - good point, I hadn't check mileages yet but my idea was that if it was too short(as it is) I'd still start at the brewery and head a mile North before turning around and heading South to the trail start putting me back at Redhook right at the correct distance. It's very important to me that there's a burger and beer waiting for me not far from the car.

Blake - No problem, I'd be happy to give you a ride. BTW - Thinking about tonight for MLT, Thursday's a no-go.

Sundays are tricky for me becuase thats when the CSA slalom crew practices. But if, for whatever reason, practice is canecelled this week, id come out for a lil distance riding.

Not sure I can make the whole ride but I'd probably be down for a few miles.
I might be up for MLT tonight as well....I'll email u in a few.

sounds like a blast, and my sunday looks good now! i think redhook opens at 11am so a start time of around 9:30 would be perfect, meeting at Wilmot park?

9:30 is perfect, I have to drop my wife off first thing, but I'm pretty sure that's at 7:30. I'll know 100% tonight.
