Well, we finally got out of winter, and with the spring it’s time to start cranking up another glorious Rally Season!  Just like spring flowers, news of great upcoming rally events for 2013 are busting out all over!  Please save a spot on your riding calendar for Tour di Mari 6, which will be happening July 19-21, 2013.  As Rod Filbrant’s excellent poster implies, we’re rocking a retro ‘space age’ theme this year, and there will be rides, music, food and fun aplenty (what did you expect? It’s a Westenders rally, after all!).

Please visit this site regularly, or better still, visit and ‘like’ our Facebook page, for information on itinerary, advance purchase of Rally Packs, and all the usuals.

Hibernation’s over! Time for scooting!

Finally, spring is here!  Sorry about the long hibernation, but both the Seattle scooter scene and your Westenders are alive and well!  Here’s some stuff coming up:

• Tomorrow night (3/21) Westender Happy Hour will happen at Eastlake Bar & Grill!  The fun starts at 7pm, and everybody’s welcome.  See you there!
• Saturday (3/23) Seattle’s Soldiers of Destiny SC is hosting their first annual Oyster Scoot!  Ride to various points around the city to enjoy the Northwest’s freshest shellfish and brews!  Visit their FB page for more information.
• We have a ride to the tulip fields coming next month, and a ‘Kentucky Derby’ – themed ride to Emerald Downs in May.  Keep and eye on this website, or ‘like’ or Facebook page to keep up with the details.

Latest report suggests good weather this weekend, so dust off the scoot and ride!
