Message from "Doc"
Just wanted to thank everyone that came out for my Monday ride. It was a beautiful day as we made our way up to Paradise on Mt. Rainier. What a difference a day makes though. Many of the roads we traveled yesterday are now shut down due to fires. We were just there and now families are being asked to evacuate their homes. Please keep them in your thoughts as we get through this rough time in our area.
 
I also want to thank all of you for the many birthday wishes. It's generally me giving away a birthday card at our meetings, so it is very nice to be recognized by all of you. I also want to thank my Sweetie, Alla for coming on the ride yesterday. It was extremely nice to have you as my back piece and I missed you on our rides.  It's always better with the one you love.
 
Send questions to formalrick@yahoo.com
​To All Members - I need you to take 2 pictures and email them to me. The 1st is a picture of your Trusty Steed or Steedette (your bike) just by itself, where ever you would like to take the photo. The 2nd is a picture of you or you and your riding partner along with your Trusty Steed or Steedette. We will attach a link to send the photos to, as there will be a connection to our Incredible Website at http://www.cascaderenegaderiders.com.  There will be a damn fine prize for the winner! As the photos are collected, a contest will be revealed.
Next Ride Date - 6/13/2020 for CRR RIDE, we will be meeting at Jimmy Jacks 13428 Hwy 99, Everett, WA 98204.
KSU at 9am!! Come with a full tank and full belly!!
 
Since we are now in June, I still work the weekends, but Alla and I are looking to do the Cascade Loop on Monday the 22nd. We can meet at Jimmy Jacks at 8:30 with kick stands up at 9:00. I plan to shoot up I-5 to just north of Smokey Point and then cut over towards Marble Mount and on to Winthrop and beyond. This is a 400 mile day, dress appropriately and be prepared to enjoy the North Cascades!! Please reach out and let me know if you plan on coming, it will be a great day in the saddle.
 
Do you have a fun destination that would be good for a ride!? Are you not ready to lead, but you know one hell of a spot to get lunch?Well, let us know where you want to go! We will then see if we can lead the group there. Share that "best fries of the west side" spot with us, your brothers and sisters. Send ideas to:

Re-Purpose Your Focus from Doc: 
 
I don't know that I have any real words of wisdom this week. I do have a question to ask. Who remembers when Facebook and the other social media platforms was a place to catch up and see what is going on in your friends lives? It was a place to share what was going on with you or you and your family. Who remembers?  I personally miss that. It seems that the whole social media platform has turned into a politically charged he said she said that in my opinion and it is only my opinion as I don't participate in the rhetoric, mostly hate filled posts.  
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I will stand behind that with all of you no matter what. I just wonder that as Cascade Renegade Riders, can we as group refrain from this for a week or two? Can we get back to sharing the good things in life? I truly believe that I am not the only one who feels this way. I challenge each of you to share a good thought, share an awesome photo, tell a story of something good that happened. Don't get me wrong those stories are coming through, but are shadowed by too much political crap!  
 
These opinions are mine and mine alone and I get the fact that opinions are like assholes and yes, I have been known to be one. I just ask as part of your family and mine, that we take the challenge.  I also want to thank everyone for the photos of you and your bike. Watch next week's Mile Maker for a challenge and chance for a damn nice prize at the Christmas Party this year. Also, Alla and I look forward to seeing you all at our next get-together. In the mean time, thank you for reading and I look forward to seeing and reading you posts and the good things that are happening out there.
