This blog is my attempt to journal our rides each season. TEam MANG (timang) is a very informal club - the one requirement is that you love to ride your bike (all types)...and do other things like eat and hang out and be silly. The term "Mang" is commonly used in the Filipino language to address older gentlemen but we're not gender or ethnic exclusive. We welcome women, too - we call them Team "Aling". Overall, we're just BFF's (bicycling with friends for fun).

2012 May 12 - 3 Points and a Levee and Hills - 72 miles
Team Mang waiting to cross the Puyallup River from Fife. |
The team opted to do the typical Cascade long route from Renton to Federal Way to Puyallup witha couple of changes - instead of doing the Peasley Canyon Road climb, they hit 15th Ave/Terrace Drive for a steeper climb. Then, instead of simply traversing the Interurban trail northbound on the way back, they turned right towards Main street in Auburn to climb up Leah Hill and come back from the Kent Highlands.
Here's the map of their route: http://soc.li/u7uZbGN

2012 May 5 - 7 Hills of Kirkland - 55 Miles
We rode the 7 Hills of Kirkland route starting off from Peterson's Bike Shop in Renton, effectively adding about 18 miles to the route. And here's the map: http://soc.li/W3gvQwY
