We're new to the group as well. Like Bob we live in North Seattle, however
are only available at this time on week-ends. Our profile for rides is
similar to Bob's as well.

Due to out-of-town work commitments we probably won't be available for rides
until late June. We are taking our Bike Friday XL Traveler tandem on a trip
to Scotland in the fall and are really looking forward to some tips from
other BF riders. Please keep us on the list for any rides and we'll join up
as we can.

Rob and Karole Gorman
