Sunday ride September 25th

Welcome to AT LAST another posting of our Sunday Rides. Ok I have not been out riding for a while. Many things came up. My sister came into town, I took a Sunday off and one I just over slept. Well I'm back now so here we go.
This Sunday only one person was at Old Town Bikes. That was Ray, AKA Rat Man. He however could not ride. He is going to the last day of the Puyallup Fair. Taking his son out there. Later I found out EVERY BODY and there mothers was going to the Puyallup Fair. Well he just wanted me to know that's why he could not ride. I said that was ok, I was still going to go on the Puyallup ride. I did talk with Chris, AKA Hill King. He told me that he had plans with his girlfriend and was unable to make it. As you all know Ivan AKA, I'm going to Italy for three months. Is currently in Italy for the next three months. We wish him well. Oh, Ivan if you read this posting see if you can get me a nice pair of Italian "ROAD SHOES". I wear a size 45. Oh and see if you can get them in RED, OR WHITE. You know it has to match my bike. When you get back I will give you the money for it. Ray and I was just talking about you when he came over to old town bikes. Ray says he wants to see if you can get him a nice bike jersey. Something that looks really cool.
Oh, let me tell you about this ride. First off there was no one out riding. I did run across two people when I started out on the ride. After that the next biker I saw was in Puyallup. After that no one was out. But by the love of GOD. Everybody else was out in Puyallup going to that Fair. I mean cars every where. People walking all up and down the street. It was a mess. I was so glad to leave that area, I think I started going about 23 to 24 miles per hour. Then of course I would have to drop to nothing because I kept getting caught by the lights. Well any way, that was the ride. It was fun and was a great day out side.
This Sunday October 2nd. I will not be riding. Says on the news it will rain. So as you all know, Tracy don't do RAIN. Unless you get stuck in it......
Until next time, hug a friend, wear clean undies..... and I will see ya on the road.

This is in down town Tacoma. The old Elks lodge. I wish they fix this building. I think it has a lot of class. 

This is in Tacoma. I was just getting going, when I saw this barge. It was so nice out. I loved the shadow in the water of the barge. 

This is the Puyallup River. If you look very close, you can see people in the water fishing. My god, there were cars lined up along the river. People out fishing. Thank god I did not have my fishing pole. I would of been out there too............ hahhahaah.... Whats a fishing pole??? If that fish is not wraped in plastic wrap and sitting in the store, I'm not going to eat it... 

This is Robert and mines new home.....Ya right. I did go and check them out. This in fife across the street from the Puyallup River. The homes were wonderful. The house on the Right is the one I wanted. But I did not want to pay $375,000.00 for it. It had no yard. But I can dream....... 

This is a picture of Our Coffee stop in Sumner. 

This is where we park our bikes at our rest stop. As you can see my bike is the only one there.... No other bikers were out this sunday. That was strange..... 

Ok, every body that does the ride with us on Sunday will know where we are at. This is the Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse in Sumner. That road that we go down, you guys know the one. Well it is all MUD.... They still have not finished that road. It was full of pot holes and big old rocks all over the place. 

Ok, this is one of my favorite places to eat. It is called Mama Stortinis. It is in Puyallup, it use to be in University Place. The place is wonderful. Robert and I had dinner there later this same day. I had a dinner that could feed 10 people. If you could eat it all, they would give you your meal for free. I did not even come close. 

Along the water front I saw the "City of Tacoma" Fire Boat. It was so nice out this pass Sunday Ride. 

Almost back to Old Town Bikes. Ran across all of these emergency cars. They were doing some sort of Training.
