I re-read it and ...Hi Gary,<BR/><BR/>That was very confusing. I re-read it and even I find it confusing. I am removing it. Joe and I will be married 30 years this October 7th. Jackie and Aaron are our kids. <BR/><BR/>So you did not do the Headwater? I love that ride. I would have done it if it weren't for the MS 150 the same weekend. So your legs felt like stone blocks. There have been many times when my legs felt like stone. I wonder what causes this feeling. I do love it however when they feel strong and unstoppable. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I know about Kersey Way. Jackie has to drive that way to get to GRCC. She said it's a mess. Joe goes early and he says it's a mess. Now that he has started his new job he is thinking about taking the sounder again. He used to ride it and loved it. He especially liked the part about not having to deal with traffic and parking. Did you read/hear about the bicycle accident in Seattle at the intersection of Eastlake Avenue and Fuhrman Avenue East? Apparently the cyclist wanted to continue straight through the intersection and a dump truck was making a right hand turn. Sadly the cyclist was killed as the truck struck and pinned him. <BR/><BR/>We had planned on riding the John Wayne Trail this Sunday but Joe and I realized this will be our son Aaron’s last weekend home before leaving for college. So we are going to do some things with him. We will drive to Cheney early next Saturday to help him move back into his dorm room. But this weekend we will spend with him. He wants to see the movie the Bourne Ultimatum and then perhaps go to the Puyallup Fair.<BR/><BR/>Joe, Jackie, and I went to spin class tonight. Our instructor also rode the MS 150 with us this past weekend. She was on our team. She is forming her own team for next year. She wants to do the Oregon MS 150 instead of the Mount Vernon MS 150. She asked us to join her team and I told her I would think about it. Jackie already signed up. Joe said he will think about joining. She knows that Joe works for Boeing and asked him if he could get them to maybe sponsor her team. Joe said he may join her MS 150 team and then perhaps see about a Boeing sponsor. <BR/><BR/>So how are you enjoying these last warm days of summer?<BR/><BR/>I drive by Alan York Park every day on my way to and from work. It was busy this afternoon on my way home. People are trying to grab these last few nice days before our miserable pacific northwest winter begins.<BR/><BR/>Pedal On!<BR/><BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993387218732982306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746884.post-62557443687656283102007-09-11T08:59:00.000-07:002007-09-11T08:59:00.000-07:00Sue: (Note.

When I was growing up in Everett, that area used to be like my back yard. Did a lot of fun runs and races up there.<BR/>Clarify for me. What did you mean by the statement “My hubby (Jackie’s dad) and my son Aaron (Jackie’s brother)” ? You can e-mail me if that’s a personal issue.<BR/><BR/>I did not do the Headwaters. I didn’t train properly for it. I rode a Foothills loop on Sat, and my legs were like stone blocks on Sunday. But I rode a easy 20 mi. from the house to make myself keep moving. I hopefully will be riding after work tonight. <BR/><BR/>I’ve decided I’m not riding to work any more this fall. Kersey Way has been closed six weeks for installation of sewer lines. And so now all the morning traffic that went down Kersey, is going down Lake Tapps Blvd. It’s a real mess, with people weaving in and out trying to get one more car ahead as they drive down the hill. Nope. Not for me. I may not be real bright. But I don’t have a death wish.<BR/><BR/>Have a good day1<BR/><BR/>Pedal On!<BR/>Garywibnrmlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811641137259350202noreply@blogger.com
