Stinky Spoke

Got anymore info on it?

I have a swim class that morning  

sounds like a blast - I'm in!

It looks like I will be there too....probably hanging with Lynne and some others.  I have an old Giant gray mtb....odds are hair in pigtails and depending on weather I will most likely be wearing black.  Look for one or two LUNA Chix....I may be near them, too, or even wearing LUNA gear if some arrives in time.

See you!

Here's a description of the ride from my friend Vinette who did it last year.  She can't do it this year....but she says this:

It's a fun ride.  Last year, there were only about five women in the whole ride.  When you leave Redhook, on the trail briefly you cross the road and then go straight up, I mean straight up the pipeline hill. Most of the folks pushed their bikes up that hill.  From there it is up and down, through trails into Redmond behind housing developments and then back up the pipeline road. You need a mountain bike definitely to do this ride.  Because of the snow and rain the trails will be muddy and you may not get traction on some of them and have to push a bit. All in all, it was fun. You get a free ticket to have a beer at Redhook at the end.  Last year we got large bath towels that said Stinky Spoke on them, very nice.

Whew!  Great day out there...we missed some of you.....but it was fun meeting RugbyRuss.  I put some pix in my race report.  Everyone must do this next year...it was great!

I have neglected the WA threads. 

It sounds like I missed out on a fun ride.
