A wonderful post-work ride. Beautiful sunny day, lots of things starting to bloom along the trail. The air smelled so good! What a great way to clear your head after a long day at the office!

Beautiful, sunny morning. We biked in, picnicked along the trail, then biked out as the storm clouds rolled in.

Fish Lake Trail
12 to 18 miles, depending
The Awesomes, the Prices, the Riese-Nye's, the Kuhlmann-Lewis', and the Bensons

A gang of 10 badass bikers, striking dread into the hearts of children and small dogs! A lovely spring day, with occasional spatter of rain, a brief hail-storm, and warm sunshine! After the ride we met up at Huck's for brews, chatter, and laughter. A wonderful Sunday afternoon!

Post-work ride, celebrating Spring! Picnic at Polly Judd included cheese & crackers, carrots & ranch dip,bbq potato chips, and apples. Delish! John was riding the N.E.W.T.; Gordon took a ride in the cargo bay, only fell off once. : )

John was test-riding his new bike contraption, very cool! After the ride we made fresh and delicious veggie pizzas at the Benson residence, then seed shopping at NW Seed & Pet. A lovely, early spring ride!

We met at the Wright house first to tune up bikes and pump up tires, then drove down to the Fish Lake Trailhead. Lots of lovely spring sunshine, friendly banter, and bike swapping. Can't wait to do it again!!

Jillian's "Surprise" Birthday Ride
Home to Manito Park
Jillian, Gordon, John Henry, Leah, Sean, Caitlin, Pat

A chilly, partially-sunny morning. After the ride, we drank mimosas and ate eggs, apple crisp, star fruit and cheesy bread. Oh, and Gordon started a fire. Not sure what that was all about, really. : )

Jillian, Gordon, Caitlin
Mileage Unknown
Tour of SoLo Parks

We went up Adams to 17th, then went east. Stopped off at Red Panda Pottery, then on to Manito Park. From there we went to Cannon Hill park, down to Cliff Park, out to Pioneer Park then back down the hill home. A fun ride! Looked at lots of awesome houses. Chilly, partially cloudy, early spring day. Yay! Time to reinstate the Sunday Brunch & Bikes!

Still a little ice on the trail in places, but otherwise a great ride! It's so great to be out biking again. I really must do this more often. : )

January 30th, 2011

First bike ride of the New Year!

Jillian, Gordon, Amanda, & Sean
Route: Around lower SoLo, out to Polly Judd Park and back.

A beautiful, sunny, chilly day! We had a lovely ride! Gordon on his ridiculous new mountain bike, the rest of us on our reasonable, rational, reliable street bikes : ).

Can't wait to do it agian!

Spokefest!

Sooooo......
I'm really late posting this. Spokefest was, like, 5 months ago. Early September. I don't feel like looking up the exact date right now.

HOWEVER: It was totally awesome. You have your choice of rides (9 miles, 22 miles, 48 miles). Gordon and I did the 22 mile ride, although considering that we also rode down to the event and back, it ended up being more like 26 miles. The course goes west along the river, then east back up it. MY FIRST TIME EVER BIKING UP DOOMSDAY HILL-------and I made it!!! Thanks to Gordon's excellent coaching! We are very much looking forward to participating again next year!

Fish Lake Trail--Full length, 16 miles
Gordon, Jillian, Sean, Amanda

A lovely morning. Did a quick DIY tune-up prior to the ride. Went to the end and back--not bad for being mildly hung over from G&Ts/Betrayal/A-Team.

Post-work ride. My first day of my new schedule!! A lovely, evening ride.

Summer Parkways #2

Gordon, Jillian, Sean, Amanda
8 Miles
SoLo to Corbin Park via Howard Street. Multiple circles around Corbin Park so Gordon could get more and more free Ginger Beer from the Huckleberries booth. We even rode the "Crazy Path"!

Lunch at Madeline's. I totally kicked ass heading back up the South Hill. A great ride!

Training for the Spokane Triathlon. Sunny morning, lovely ride.

Fish Lake!!

Sunday, August 1st
Fish Lake Trial/Cheney Spokane Road to FISH LAKE
24 miles
Jillian, Gordon, Caitlin, Sean

We finally did it! We road all the way out to the lake, went for a swim, then rode back. It was a long ride, but a lovely one. There is one big hill on Cheney/Spokane Road before the lake, but we all conquered it okay. The ride back up the South Hill was the real killer, as by that time, my legs were jelly. Still, tons of fun!

Havillah to Tonasket!

Amanda and Jillian volunteered with Summer Parkways, so we rode the course, then hung out all morning monitoring traffic on the course. Super sunny, super fun. Loves watching the jazzercisers. Looking forward to the next Summer Parkways event in August!
