bike tree

Stolen from here.

Kind of like those steel trees that line Portage Ave. on the way to Olympia, except that these are nicer.

I'm thinking that the Monday gathering this week should involve a race--a king of the hill race. This is a modified version of an idea Hal suggested while munching on bland nachos at Carlos and Murphy's during Aiden's birthday party earlier this week. We return to Garbage Hill. Put everyone's name in a hat. Draw pairs of names from the hat and run a series of heats racing up the road to the top. The winner advances to the next round. The loser is out, left to cheer, toss cabbages at the remaining racers, ride fixies up the wall, whatever. Last one standing is the king of the hill, to be duly honoured at the post-race festivities at the F&H. Meet at my place at 9pm.

It should be a relaxing evening for me...I'll see you then.

Good point. We'll make it double knockout, so you aren't too relaxed.
