Scott Kralik (206)523-6042
Explore Seattle's backstreets at a comfortable pace with a sociable crowd. Every Thursday a regular group of old friends and a curious crowd of new friends ride as far as evening light permits, venturing places seldom seen via routes seldom taken. We don't go looking for a challenge (we'll never ride the Counterbalance), but neither do we avoid one (we've topped a hill or two and waited for the sightseers among us). Bring money for dinner afterwards. Heavy rain means we eat early.

The 3 of us who did the May 25 ride had so much fun, I'm going to do it again. The May edition of Bagbalm Not Included got overrun by the CTS, which started at the same place at the same time and followed almost the same route for the first half of the ride. Hopefully, history will not repeat! So, whether you are participating in Ride Around Washington or not, come join in as we ride down to Tacoma and return via Vashon Island and Alki (a fabulous route). Bring money for ferry and lunch. Pace will be high-moderate to brisk. Due to the ferry schedule, the return time to Ft. Dent is variable.
