North Sound Ride 3/12/05
« on: March 07, 2005, 10:26:55 PM »
Check in here if you're interested in a ride this coming Saturday (3/12/05). Meet at the Denny's just off I-5 at the Arlington/Sylvana exit. (East side of the freeway.) Plan to depart at 9:30, show up early if you need to gas up, coffee up, or grab breakfast.

I still haven't made a determination exactly where we'll go yet, so if you have anything in mind, I'm open to suggestions. Currently thinking about SR9 to Sedro-Wolley and the Skagit River Road to Marblemount. Maybe even up SR20 to the road closed gate near Ross Lake.

It's OK with me if you bring a fellow rider, regardless of their choice in make or model, as long as they're comfortable with riding with us.

Sounds good!

See ya Saturday, hopefully with a few friends.

If anyone is "on the fence" about going, this S. Skagit Hwy is a fine ride! Beautify, twisty, and lightly travelled.

Unless things change between now and Friday, looks like I won't be able to ride for as long as I wanted...
I'll have to be in Everett by 1430 for work. :roll:
And here I figured since I worked last w/e I wouldn't have to this one.
Oh well, at least the pay is good.

Paul,

Now that is a drag. The weather report just keeps looking good.

Are you still up for some kind of ride? We could either choose an alternate course or, depending on who wants to do what, you could bail out at some point huh?

I'll let you know what, and if I hear from anyone else.

rain?

Not real likely according to the "sun" icons in our forcasts. With the NC Hwy still closed that should minimize traffic also. If you left Friday morning you should be here to join us  :bandit: Saturday morn.

This has been a magical winter up here in the NW. T-shirt weather in early march.

Hmmm... maybe call in sick tomorrow when the pay is 1x instead of Saturday when it's 1.5x - certainly don't wanna miss any of Sunday's 2x pay.  :duh:

Exit #?
« Reply #11 on: March 11, 2005, 05:08:05 AM »
So Paul, what is the exit number there? I looked on a couple of map programs... 208? 212?

A guy from work (R6) plans to meet us there but asked for the exit #, so far I can't deduce it from a map. I figure being your neck of the woods you could come up with it. I'm still hopeful my buddy with the Superhawk will show.

The weather is still looking good!

Bobcat, you in?

Steve

I'm guessing 208  :motorsmile:

Pretty sure it is Exit 208, in any event, it is the exit just north of the rest stop just north of Marysville/Smokey Point.
Sign should say something like "SR530 Arlington Silvana"
I go by it almost everyday, but don't pay that much attention to it, I guess.

Not even for a short one, eh? Remember, I've gotta be at work by 2:30, so you could be home early...  :lol:
