Seattle area, Mild off-roading weeknights?

Anybody in the Seattle area up for doing some exploring during the week up in Snoqualmie pass? Its staying light till about 9:30 now. Nothing real serious, maybe just riding around Tinkham road exploring side trails till it gets dark?

I might be talked into that since the I-90 corridor is just down the street from work

Denny Creek and Gardner Mountain are also in the same area and worthy of some attention.

I think it would be fun- sometimes its tough going on the weekend, since it turns into a whole day afair and there are usually other things going on. But after work, it sure beats watching T.V! Maybe Wed. or Thursday next week?

I am up for it. Wednesday would be my last choice of days, but Thursday is cool.

Thursdays fine with me. Wait and see who expresses interest in the next couple of days, then finalize plans next week?

Sure. But it's probably easier if we just plan on it and see who joins in. planning these things by committee is pain. Either way, I will pencil in on my calendar and we can finalize the details next week.

How is that round thingy for steering working out for you?

I would be up for that later on this summer. I have midweek off (Tues and Wed nights). Right now I am busy doing remodel work, and have to get Yoda done too.

I'm in...lemme know what night.

If we plan enough in advance, we can me at my place for some dinner and then head to the trails. Or hit my place afterwards (especially if it's a friday night).

I think it'll be late in the evening. I won't be home until about 6:15pm...then again I'm only about 15 minutes from Tinkham.

Hopefully our sun will be back...otherwise it'll probably get dark in a hurry that late in the day.
