Ride on the 18th and/or 19th?

[ADVTRACKER]

Any NW Coggers interested in an overnight ride to somewhere in the Cascades the 18th and 19th?  Or second option- either day?  I'd like to judge some interest before I post a ride.  So far weather is forecast to be awesome.  Just did a fall colors two dayer to Winthrop.  Trees were awesome in the Methow Valley and Stevens Pass.

The combo of my fun budget being blown until the next side job generates a payday and my Aerostich suit being down for repairs is keeping me close to home for the foreseeable future.

      Is your aerostitch suit up on jacks?

Worse.  It's packed in a box like an old wedding dress.

I'd be interested in a ride.  Were you thinking something like a Friday and Saturday (18th and 19th?).  I could likely get a day off from work to do a 2 day ride.  Let me know what you have in mind.

Since I have my C14 back I might join you from the east side. I would not spend the night because Twisp is only about an hour from home.

Yep, I'm thinking Fri and Sat.  Only caveat is we'd have to wait until about Wed for a final decision to make sure some stupid storm isn't moving in, although as of now looks fine. Let me ponder a location.  I just did a two day to Winthrop and it was awesome.  NC highway still open with just a bit of snow on the sides of the road at Washington Pass, and great colors over Stevens Pass and in the Methow valley. Let me see what I can come up with for an overnight location by tomorrow and will post. 
I've been on a medical leave of absence from work for cateract surgery all summer and go back next week, so trying to squeeze as much riding in as possible.    Thanks also Tim R.  Hope to see you out there somewhere.

Look forward to hearing what you have in mind.  I should be able to get away.  The weather looks great and I'm sure the switch will get thrown and crappy weather will be coming soon (Halloween seems to be about the time things go south).  I'll send you a PM to confirm once you get a location set.

PS, If Sat/Sun would be easier for any members please post.  I originally had other Sun plans but now they're cancelled.

I've got vacation time to burn and traffic is typically better during the week depending on where we go.  I'm good for Friday/Saturday although I could also do a Saturday/Sunday ride as well

I generally do Winthrop on a day ride. I was thinking about stuff like a Hood Canal loop on Friday or Winthrop on Saturday or Mt. Baker on sunday. Then there's Chinook, Windy Ridge or whatever and on which bike. Wait, I forgot the San Juan's, great ferry rides. Is there a cheap off season lodging? Check the road temps on the www.wsdot.wa.gov site for higher elevations. That or watch black and white film noir movies from the fifties.

Guys.  I'm sorry.  I came home and my entire downstairs is flooded from a toilet that bust lose!  Have to cancel.

Yep.  Last time it came back with unfinished repairs, and one of the brand new zippers has stopped working, so it's going back.  I'm hoping the third time is the charm.
