Salem, Oregon. Still getting my bike put together. Rode around for thousands of miles on an old Raleigh Grand Prix I purchased at a lawnmower/chainsaw/bicycle shop in 73. Probably still be riding it except someone didn't see me when they decided to make a left turn. The silver lining around the storm cloud - now I finally get to put my dream bike together.

Hi everyone, New in the forum but bike a lot when I was young. Now that I'm old, had to start in getting back in shape. Here's the trail that I ride my bike everytime I had a chance.

Welcome aboard!

Thats one of my favorite trails the scenery is awesome. Have you tried any other rides up in Snohomish?

Except for Burke-Gilman trail, no I have not. Is there any other trail except the one next to sewage pond or snohomish river.

Talking about Puget Sound,I spent a day cycling on Lopez Island in July with friends of mine from Monroe.
It was two days after I arrived from Sydney OZ.
Had a great time even though at the end of the day I was totaly whacked,I think it might have been the jet lag.

Galbraith sounds nice - Other NW people
 

I raced at Padden Lake this sumer.

I purchased a map of Galbraith Mountain. Still need to go.

For the master list of everyone in the bike forum for Pacific North West I'm Dave & live in Federay Way

NE Portland Oregon. Off of Alberta. White Peugeot Fixed.

Ocean Shores
 

I looked for the bike shop in Ocean Shores and noticed it was gone when I was there this past summer.

Ocean shores had a shop about 10 years ago. I pedaled so hard going through the sand dunes to the beach I bent the rear wheel on my mountain bike. I was pulling my daughter in a bike trailer behind me at the time. I purchased replacement wheel at the bike shop and it lasted the remaining life to the bicycle ~ I retired the bike about 2 years ago.

Last time I went to Ocean Shores has to be at least 8 years ago...I don't remember there being a bike shop, but that may be because I was focused on the birdwatching...still haven't seen any of the miserable little Palm Warblers which everybody and his aunt see there every day except for when I happen to show up :p .

Of course, being cheap as dirt I found the killer deal on discontinued size/color combo's: a blue jacket and "juniper" (a light green) pants. $90 for both, with free shipping. I LOVE THEM! Cut big enough for layering, light enough to pack, and they literally repel water in any form. The hood of the jacket fits over my helmet. With fenders on the Fuji, I'm good to go, and I've finally convinced my wife that I'm completely insane:D

Been roaming the other boards a bit. First visit in the regional. Boise now (bought a house!), Seattle (Cap Hill) last year. Wife loves Portland, so that's probably next.

You don't know what you've been missing by not hangin' out with us here! We're trying to challenge the SoCal forum's domination over the regional boards, but I think it may be a hopeless quest.

Anyway, I see you appreciate huerro's great sense of humour :) . And I might add, good advice ;) .
