A Chilly Ride

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Some Tribe members braved the cold on the 17th and headed up into Skagit county to drop by Skagit HD and have a little lunch.  My odometer showed a total of about 150 miles for the day, which was pretty good considering that the weather was mostly below 40 degrees.  Ned, Neil, Mort, Jeff, and Ellen hit the road about 9:30 AM and returned mid-afternoon to thaw out.  Thanks to Mort for the pictures below.

March Ride Preview

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Yes, it’s a little early for the March ride (scheduled for the 30th of March), but in anticipation of a great ride, our March Ride Rabbi Ned Porges offers the following teaser:

A bullet-holed dead man on display at the back of a store, a bubble gum chewer started this disgusting scene, a sculptor student’s trick on a UW president wasn’t discovered ’till years later, bring or lose your appetite to this hidden socio-economic commentary, stand at the center of the known world, see the home of the fighting nuns, and more! So what’s this all about?
 
Be prepared for a fun few hours of discovery. Visit many hidden Seattle treasures; some well known and some not. On March 30, 2008 at 9 AM we meet at Starbucks. We’ll take a tour not likely on any tour operator’s offerings. Follow 30 year Seattle resident, Ned Porges, self-proclaimed harbor of facts important, (most not.)
 
He and his trusty ‘89 Honda Pacific Coast will guide you to a new, higher plane of municipal appreciation. We’ll visit a few spots, break for a quirky lunch, be amazed by a few more. Return then to your domiciles, enriched.
