Father's Day ride

[wingshot]

Wife is out of town and arranged babysitting so that I can get a day out riding.

Preliminary route is north from Federal Way to Highway 20, south on SR 97 to Ellensburg, Yakima canyon, and back over SR 410. A long day, but they are limited in nature so need to make the most of them. Route adjustments may occur as time availability of sitter changes.

Have fun Brian, I'll be bouncing my one year old grandson on my knee.

I might be able to go depending on exactly my plans for fathers day are. Might have to make a couple extra stops due to a normal sized gas tank.....

 

[wingshot]

Stopping for gas is always a necessity, so no worries for extra stops. As an aside, remembering to top off is important so there isn't an issue with running out of gas.

What is your estimated millage for this route? I only ask because I'm a little saddle sore from my 700+ mile ride I did on saturday

Ambitious ride Brian, hope all goes well. I will be shoving off Mon. for Jasper Alberta and the Canadien rockies for a few days. Like to have gone to the Beartooth function but a few to many miles for my leash.

 

[wingshot]

The ride will be a minimum of 500 miles and possible as high as 650 if baby sitter is available for that long.

I'll be stuck on Whidbey for enough of the day that I can't make it.

I rode that route 2 weekends ago with Hudson, around 300 miles from Fall City.

 

[Hudson]

I'd consider doing the Hwy 20 to Cle Elum section, then begging off at Hwy 90. What time are you leaving?

 

[wingshot]

Leaving Federal Way about 7:20ish, slabbing it up to 20, and might sneak in Loop Loop.

Leaving for Red Lodge early Sunday morning, have a good ride wingshot!

Wish I could join, unfortunately work called. Have fun everyone and Happy Fathers Day

 

[Hudson]

I could meet you at Smokey Point rest stop, say 8-8:1

 

[wingshot]

See you there, but might be more closely to 8:30. FJR nominal speed will be attempted.

 

[Hudson]

Sounds good.
