Normally I commute to work by bike but I had knee surgery. I finally get to climb back on the saddle next week. Just in time!

I'm a loner too since I leave my house around 4:30 am and I don't know anyone that lives in Sumner that rides to work. It would be cool to have someone to ride with but the only guy I know of lives in Puyallup and when he passes me its like I'm standing still Oh well its all good though

I'm going to be on holiday for almost half of May! When I return I will be biking the return trip (carpooling inbound though).

I live in Auburn and commute with a bunch of guys from Puyallup up the interurban. We all work in Seattle and will usually catch the Sounder train after 15-20 miles on the trail.

We aim to get to Seattle (Qwest Field) by 7:00am most days.

:( I have to spend Bike To Work Day in Costa Rica. Best I can do is rent a bike and go to the beach with a load of rum-filled coconuts.

smurf hunter I work at the B*&^ng plant in Auburn so I would miss you guys sounds like a cool group to ride with though. I try to ride at least 3 days a week for now until I get some more seat time then in June I will probably start to ride every day as circumstances permit

Man, tonights weather totally sucked. I hate riding in the wind. I kept hear trees cracking on my way home. I was hoping that a tree wasn't going to fall across my path.

Tough ride home heading toward Duvall. Many places were out of power...strong gusts and a headwind really slowed me down.

Last year they used those BTW stats to justify more bike lanes and they run it the same time as BTW in some Eurpoean countries. WA did pretty good last year. This year with gas prices even higher, I'm seeing more peds AND bikes getting to work.

Most likely for employees only but I don't know.
