[ETC-Discussion] Fun-miles of Sundials this Saturday

[Randall & Barb]

Come join us for our 2nd annual Fun-miles of Sundials ride this Saturday at 
9 AM at Gas Works Park.  More a tour than a bike ride, this outing will be 
like watching the Discovery Channel as we pedal across north Seattle to 
explore hidden secrets. Among other things, observe the wonderful mix of 
science, arts and crafts:

Dials accurate to within 1 minute
Wide range of gnomons - some even wearing helmets
A dial that requires an oil change every 50 years

Professor Woody Sullivan from UW Astronomy Department confirmed he will 
talked to our group.  This year, instead of coming outside of his office to 
chat with us at stop #2, he is going to ride his single bike with us for 
stops, #2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.  He is the upmost authority on sundials in the 
northwest so we're tickled that he's joining us.  If your riding partner is 
unable to ride this Saturday, join us on your single bike and then have fun 
touring the dials again when your schedules allow.

It's TIME to explore our own back yard.
