[ETC-Discussion] Mukilteo area evening ride

[Charlie Buchalter]

I'm thinking of starting a weekday evening ride series in the Mukilteo area 
and am wondering how much interest there would be in joining me. Please 
respond either to the listserve or directly to me as you see fit. My idea is 
as follows.

Start time:    5:45 p.m.
Day of week:    what do people prefer? I figure once a week unless someone 
else wants to step up to lead a second ride.
Start location:    the Atoc shop (around the corner from the Albertson's at 
the Mukilteo Speedway and Bev Park Rd). There's ample parking and I can 
offer a bathroom, water, etc.
Distance:    approx 10 miles to start, building to 20 as daylight and 
conditioning permit
Route:    Varied within the Mukilteo - Meadowdale area, usually with at 
least one trip down sea level.

Busy roads will be avoided. When we absolutely must take a busy road it will 
be for only a short stretch and we'll be in a marked bike lane. I do NOT 
intend to ride the Speedway down to the ferry. There is an extensive network 
of residental roads in this area. The routes are convoluted but it's hard to 
get truly lost. These will be hilly rides so although tandems are welcome, 
this is probably better suited to single bikes.
