    17-19mph Wednesday evening ride anyone?

    Myself and a couple others are looking to roll Wednesday evening for 90minutes to 2 hrs.  This is a 17-19mph group ride with regroups thrown in if needed, probably at the top of climbs.

    If you're interested in joining us please shoot me a direct email or post here on the forum.  I'm flexible with a start time of 5:30 or 6pm as well as a start location, perhaps Bethany Village or Longbottoms or where ever works best for the majority.

     Thanks

    I'll check my schedule tonight. A Wednesday night ride would be great.

    I'll be out riding Wednesday evening from the west side but will be leaving earlier and riding longer/faster. If anybody is interested in a 50'ish mile ride with 3 good climbs I'll be leaving around 4:00 - 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. The total ride from my house is 54 miles and takes approximately 3 hours to finish solo.

    If anybody is interested let me know...I can meet somebody on the west side and Rock Creek is usually my first climb.

     I'm trying to get the West Hills Wanderer series going again Wednesdays at 6pm from Bethany Village.

     For now it's still impromptu, but there's at least 2-4 of us leaving from the WaMu parking lot at 6pm this wednesday.

     I selected the following route from the database:

    (Print out your own copy if you want one, I won't be bringing copies for others)
     
    I expect that will take about 2 hours.
    We expected to be group/regroup at top of climbs.  I'm not sure on speed, perhaps similar speed to yours (if 17-19 is your speed on the flat!)
     
    You are all welcome to combine with us as you please!

    My schedule is clear. Let me know where to meet. I'd prefer Longbottom's at 5:30.

    I'm not up for quite that much climbing (i.e. the route Paul posted).  If we meet at Longbottom's we could ride south & do the Golf course route, with or without Blooming Fern, or else go north to Helvetia / Jackson Quarry / Shadybrook or part of Pumpkin Ridge. J-Rod, looking forward to seeing you back on the bike!

    I'll be looking for a very easy fixed gear recovery ride after tonights Australian pursuit fun fest out at the track (OUCH!!!).  The flatter the better for me.  Also, LB's is easier for me to make from work.

    The ride I posted for is an easy 17-19 regroup ride with minimal climbs.  After being off the bike for 14weeks I'm not down with any type of "vertical reality" ride of any type.

     I'd suggest a blast out Dairy Creek and back perhaps or the route Linda mentioned or we can decide upon arrival.
