Revision as of 22:28, 14 July 2019

Location

On Roosevelt Way NE, just south of NE 42nd in Seattle's U-District.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Either early morning or late afternoon visit - have to drop daughter off at camp mid-day. The former would have less vehicular competition ...

My schedule is open, feel free to name a time. Coyotebush (talk) 23:55, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

A meeting, at last? Let's find a time around 11:30 am. Anyone else want to join us? --Thomcat (talk) 03:43, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

11:30 sounds good! Coyotebush (talk) 16:36, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

From the SDOT map, Roosevelt north of 41st has a 25mph speed limit, so I could try for a Bicycle Speed Racer... Coyotebush (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Expedition

Coyotebush arrived first, noting for later a 25mph speed limit sign a few blocks before the point. He snapped a few photos and stepped back into the shade to wait.

Traffic is surprisingly busy already -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.6575,-122.3177 11:24, 14 July 2019 (PDT)

Soon enough, Thomcat and daughter rolled up. That made three: one to chalk the road, one to watch for traffic, one to take photos. After a quick chat the car departed for further adventures.

Coyotebush lingered to ride a few laps up and down the hill in between traffic. Later inspection of the GPS tracklog showed speeds at the trackpoints following the hashpoint of: 15.9mph, 24.0mph, 23.4mph, 28.4mph.
