Ahoy bikies,
You all know the drill. JB never changed this email besides updating the year and the ride number, so why should I? Please forward along and post where you will.
It's almost time for the 2025 New Year's Day Ride! Will there be ice or rain or sunshine – I sure don't know, but if it's as cold as it has been recently make sure to be cautious on that first shady downhill.
Shake off the dust and mud and bring your bike out and start off the New Year with a bike ride (rain, snow or shine??).
This is the 53rd New Year's Day Ride. We all start at NOON from Enatai Beach Park (the Bellevue side of the I-90 East Channel Bridge) and head north towards Evergreen Point and beyond...
This is a rather short (about 15 miles - it could be shorter for me if the weather is disagreeable!!) social ride. For most that is "plenty far" on the day after, but for some it is a nice warm-up for a little more exercise later on.

Many of you are too anxious and start a little fast!! Do try and stay sociable for the first 10 miles or so and then you can try the big ring... That means easy on the flats and the hills – otherwise I will be way off the back...
See ya all there and happy New Year!
