Ride Calendar 2013

Here's my projected bike ride schedule for 2013.  So far only registered for MTB class and Chelan.  


April 20: Evergreen Basic Mountain Bike Skills Part I .  I need to learn how to manage this great Full Suspension Trek 26 that I acquired this year, and get out on some our great trails.

May 5: Phil's May Day Classic -- either 72 or 100 depending on how I feel when I get to Wilkeson. 

May 25-ish: 7 Hills of Kirkland  The traditional 7 hills route or 100 miles.  Possibly some other day of the weekend, depending on weather.  Last year it rained on the official ride and I rode it alone in the dry on Saturday. 

June 8: Flying Wheels Century  100 miles or else! 

June 22: Chelan Century This time, all three loops.  2012, just did 2.  Beautiful scenery, nice to ride where it's all OPEN and dry (although last year was only partly sunny, lots of clouds and threat of thunderstorms.)

July 13: PTS.  Riding one day STP route backwards, self supported.   If I get into RAMROD, this will happen as a training ride. 

July 25: .RAMROD  Don't know if I'm in the official ride yet.  If not, perhaps I'll ride it backwards too, so as not to be competing or poaching their ride.

July 28:  Tour de Kitsap Might or might not depending on how July 25 works out.  Last year was a fun time, good support and root beer in milk jugs at the end of the ride.

Aug 24-25 . RAPSODY Ride around Puget Sound.  My first time on this one, promises to be a fun time.  

Sept 21: . Tour de Blast First time ride also.  I want to do this some time, I have never seen Mt. St. Helens up close all these years.
