Sorry to hear it pal, i can always photoshop old pics of you into new pics from this ride and then you can lie to yourself and trick yourself into thinking you had a great ride.

To my knowledge there are no female duckbill platypus there, but it's rumored there are plenty of female sea otters there.... Now you're getting pretty kinky dude.

That there is my old "stomping grounds". I went to school in Shelton and dated a hick for over 6 years that lived out in the Skokomish Valley. I didn't bike then...I didn't even own a bike then either! Boy, I'm sure glad Ethan came along to change me from deer hunting/beer drinking chick to the mountain biking speedy beaver I've become! :evil:

Nah i'm pretty set on riding one or the other. Next time though, the weather has been good i'm really looking forward to riding Galby and i really want to get back to Anacortes too.

Are you still working in Redmond?

Nope today was the last day out there. i skipped it because i didn't want to stand around and pretend i was doing something. Last day on some roofs can get like that.

Ahaha you're not foolin nobody. We all know you got those beer drinking deer hunting video games on your computer. And i saw that Dukes of Hazzard DVD collection next to your tv that one day too.

 

[olytrayne]

I hikes S Fork Skok the other day and it is beautiful woods. I might be into riding that this sunday if the weather is nice and there is no wind... ( I just bought a sailboat and have to take advantage of the breeze when its there)

 

[Serial Midget]

What happened to Shelton? I made plans and penciled it in.

 

[Skookum]

S. Fork Skokomish IS Shelton. :dancing:

Quilcene is just a few miles north. :evil:

ok ok ok let's do Skokomish, Midge where in Shelton is somewhere good to meet?

 

[Vno]

I'm only speculating...but I suppose South Mountain in Phoenix is out?!

 

[bikeguy100k]

Dangit! I'd love to go with ya Skooks, but I have to work this Sunday! It's one of my two Sundays per month at the bike shop...

Maybe next week if it's not too hot.

Oh... I guess there is a difference between Sky and Sko...

I can meet you at Taylor Town and follow you up.

 

[Skookum]

Haha that actually doesn't sound like a bad idea.

 

[Serial Midget]

Are you taking Tacoma Narrows or I-5? You tell me where to be and what time and I will be there.

 

[Skookum]

i'm not sure which would be faster for us.....(me and Johnny) i'll call you tomorrow and let you know. Olytrane if you want in on the ride, meet us at the trailhead at 9:30ish. Me and a pal are gonna take off from Tacoma round 8, i figure that should get us to the trailhead on time.

 

[Serial Midget]

OK - I got all 3 voice-mails and I know where we are meeting in Shelton but I do not know what time. I cannot find where I set your phone number and it looks like you are not checking your PMs... I suppose I could just show up at 6AM and eat McGriddles until I'm hip and lovin' it.

EDIT: It should take you 75 to 80 minutes to hit Shelton from Tacoma by taking the bridge. Once in Shelton via HWY3 you will be taking a right that leads you up and out of the flats - stay on the same road (it makes a left turn up the hill and then resumes right at the top) until you see McDonalds which will be on your left. I will be setting all pretty in the wonder truck by 9AM.
