We had a good turn out for the Ugly shirt ride today. The challenge of finding a suitable "Ugly Shirt" brought out several Easy Does it regular riders; Heather, Ellen, Colleen, Donna with Gary in his old guy shirt, Corrie... dressed as just his usual self, along with a few new riders; Linda T and Jean and Ken Campbell with daughter Jody and baby Georgianna in the burley. Ken said they've been riding for years including I Made the Grade a few times.

We had a bit of a route adjustment as we tried to avoid the MS walkers on the path, but we managed to make our way through the crowd without incident. We even managed to pick up another rider, Jan on the way.

The chilly but sunny day had everyone in a cheerful talkative group as we rode toward the 10 mile bridge past Asotin. No flats or problems along the way, a great Easy Does it Ride and we finished it off with a lunch at Taco Time. As far as Ugly shirts go, I have to say it was hard to choose, but if I was going to pick, I guess Jeans blue/purple tye dye shirt was a winner... so Jean promised me we'd work on a Moscow Co-Op cinnamon roll ride sometime, I'll have to present her with her prize then, unless we see her sooner. What fun to ride with such a nice group on a perfectly beautiful spring morning.

A cupcake for Easy Does it Riders? Could be... if I get my act together.

You have to start sometime. It's cold and windy at times, and your tires probably need to be pumped up, but it's time!

It's April and the flowers are blooming. Hopefully we'll have good weather. We could go up river past Asotin for an hour or so. If any of you want to ride at a faster pace that's fine. The pace is published to be a pace for a beginner. I just try to stay with the slower pace or what ever the group is at.

An ugly shirt ride is about "not looking cool" I have a favorite jersey that makes me look like Charlie Brown.. you'll have to watch this site for a picture. I feel like a perfectly respectable "dork" in it. I think I might make some of Camille's awesome chocolate cupcakes.. so if folks are coming for food... here's your chance to join the Easy Does it Crew.
