Hey Guys up there in Seattle land ~
Lonnie Morse here from OHPV down in Portland. If I might make a suggestion that seems to work well for us. We call these rides "web rides" as they are posted on the forum somewhere around 36-24 hrs ahead of time. Someone announces in short notice that the weather is good and he or she is going on a ride to where ever. They casually invite anyone to join them. Usually there are several riders who impromptu join he or she for the ride. The secret seems to be if the weather is good. Sometimes life gets in the way and a rider can't show for the ride - that's all well and good - they know there will be another ride posted again soon. Better to have a lot of small unorganized rides then a few official rides. Stronger riders who want more mileage can always be creative with optional distance and rejoin the slower group for a social gathering at rides end. Everyone seems happy and have a great time together.
Just thought I would share what works for us.

Same here. I would be interested in joining you some weekends.
I had a minor knee injury last January that kept me on the
down low.

I have been too lazy to organize a ride, but would be interested in
joining you. I live close to Magnusson. I am open to other times and
starting locations but an early Sunday ride from gasworks would work
best for me most weekends.
