Oyster Run 2011 – Southenders plan your route

If you are coming from the south end and your route includes I405 to get to the Oyster Run, you may want to take a look at the WSDOT traffic alerts.

Major closures affecting I-405 this weekend

Drivers should anticipate congestion throughout Puget Sound this weekend due to several large construction projects and special events. WSDOT encourages drivers to plan ahead for closures and allow extra travel time.

I-405 Bellevue - Northbound I-405 from N.E. 8th to SR 520 will be closed beginning 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 26. Southbound I-405 will remain open. Crews will be putting the finishing touches on the new braided ramps designed to alleviate congestion and improve safety. Suggested detour routes are I-90 to Bellevue Way, and I-90 to 148th Ave S.E.

I-5 & I-405, and SR 525 Lynnwood - The southbound I-5 on-ramp from SR 525 will close at 9 p.m., Friday, Sept. 23. The southbound I-5 on-ramp from I-405 will also close at 11 p.m. Both ramps will reopen by 5 a.m., Monday, Sept. 26. Drivers will follow signed detours. Crews will complete new on-ramps connecting to southbound I-5. When opened, the ramps are designed to eliminate lane-weaving from merging traffic as well as reduce the risk of sideswipes and rear-end collisions.

The Moment Of Peace

Things Are Changing Around Here

As some of you have noticed lately, the general direction of this blog has changed over the last few months.  I originally started this blog to keep in touch with fellow bikers, meet new people and organize our rides.  I have put a lot of time and effort into this over the last 3 years but have come to the conclusion that nobody really cares.  This is not a new discovery but one that has been brewing for the last 2 years.

Don’t take any of this wrong, I am not complaining, pointing any fingers or anything like that, but it simply is just the way it is and I accept that fully.

So….. here is the new plan.  Ride With Kirk stays but the focus of this site will change a bit.

If you want to know more, keep on reading (the good stuff about titties and ass are on the next page)….
