19 days to the Ride



Just another teaser photo; this one from the Jackson Hole National Elk Refuge website. Bill Linn was mentioning this area last night so I did some searching; if there is a way we can get to this area, which is south of Yellowstone I sure would like to try it. The photos of the area are awesome.

We are now down in the "teens" and before you know it Blue will be here and the Ride will officially begin.
I spoke with Bill Linn (SSMC President of Cascade Chapter) and he is diligently working out the details of our 3 days in the Seattle area. We'll probably have about 10 to 15 riders out of Sandpoint to Renton. Then on Sunday it's either Yakima or Olympic Peninsula with Monday being the other. Those details are still to be worked out. On the Tuesday that we check out of Renton we'll be meeting up with some SSMC Riders out of Portland to begin our trip south and then up the Columbia River Gorge. From there Bill Linn has given me some good options for getting to Yellowstone which we will review prior to leaving here or when we meet up with him. I'm trying real hard not to over plan this thing so it can "just happen". All that said we should have a lot of fun, see some amazing stuff and bring back enough stories to put all of our grandchildren to sleep.

Ride safe,

  2. No whining when we hit those 40F overnight temps in the mountains. I remember being stationed in Charleston when Skipjack was in the yards. That heat and humidity killed me

  5. actually, 40f is a little hot, I love 35c.
    The hottest I have experienced here in Perth is 46 a couple of times...and one of them was whilst I was riding my push bike home from work, 17 km's.
    Now that was hot!
