ok,
so it wasn’t a “party” but we had lube and tools, popsicles and mini
bikes. kind of sounds like a party, doesn’t it? we celebrated bikes and
the summer solstice tonight. it was warm, but there was a breeze, and
the killdeers
loud call helped drown out the roaring of the cars on sprague and appleway.
when we left the parking lot at 8, the sun was still high in the sky.
too bad i had to haul 4 bike stands and all the tools; it was a
beautiful night for a ride.

kathleen, mike, ken and i met at dishman
dodge in spokane valley to fix up bikes for the pedal pals bike give-away,
co-sponsored by KHQ and DD. the bikes will be given away on saturday,
june 30th, and the regional health department will throw in free
helmets with each bike. pretty cool.
