What's the date for the next one?

Just back from a long day at Whistler. 24 hours door to door. Heading North tomorrow might be a bridge too far for me. Will check in tomorrow.

Thanks or posting! Nice work! I've had a few adventures on that thing but never in winter.

My kids are on the cusp of leaving the nest. Your post takes me back... My advice is simple: separate your workout/fun desires from activities with your kids and you'll be more likely to make everyone happy, including yourself. So get fit enough to get out with your friends once or twice a month. It'll be good for your body and soul. Cover parenting so your partner can have a similar opportunity. And do family-focused outdoor fun whenever you can. Just being in nature is good for everyone, even small kids. For family fun, keep in mind that often staying close to the trailhead is easier. You and your kid can have more fun playing in the snow bank across from the Alpental parking lot or near Gold Creek Pond than walking two miles in a crowded trail to Source Lake basin. If kids have a great time doing stuff outdoors with you they might be more inclined to keep doing it - with or without you - as they grow older. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself. Have fun!

Roanoke tavern on N Cap Hill, Seattle. There is free parking nearby, bus runs right out front. Space in the back.

Also, I've reached out to a few folks who might be interested who likely won't see this thread. I trust we're open to hosting whoever shows up.

I'm driving from N Cap Hill and happy to give folks a ride. I won't be staying super late. DM if interested.

DM me if you want a ride. No questions will be asked, no photos will be taken, no one has to know!

What?!? How is that possible? I plan to attend

Third Wednesday would be Dec 16th. I can do that. What time are we talking about? 7PM to be post-traffic but not too late for those of us that aren't night owls?

I'm in N Cap Hill and can go in any compass direction. Don't know much about bars. If you come to Roanoke Tavern on E 10th (free parking nearby, easy access to freeways nearby, two blocks from my house) everyone's first beverage is on me. It does have a bunch of sportsy screen action but should be OK. Also close to me is the Eastlake Zoo Tavern. Apple maps describes it as a "dive bar". I could buy you cheap macro beers and your feet might stick to the floor. Good times coming!

Ditto. But I installed the app, logged in (I already had an acct) and then went back and scanned QR code again and it allowed me to donate to cc.com. Mission accomplished. Oh, and PLEASE come out to pub club so it's not just old white guys

Will def try to attend.

We can create a Zoom link and put a camera behind a cutout of your smiling mug. Or something

So many great things here. Congrats!!!
