FYBO 2024

Once again, we are starting up at Elmer’s Bar & Grill in Burien where they open with breakfast available starting at 9:00 a.m. We’ll start with registrations at 9:30 and plan to have our kickstands up at
10:30. If there’s another big turn-out like last year, probably plan on heading out in smaller groups, and how we all decide to get there is partly up to the weather.

We’re keeping the fundraising going for the food bank because there are still people who badly need it. We had a great event last November, and the food bank just needs another 2 million dollars for their move to a new location in downtown White Center, so come on out and let’s help them with another thousand bucks or so! Check out their Capital Campaign at https://www.whitecenterfoodbank.org/capital-campaign.

Saturday October 1st 2022 starting at Elmer's Bar & Grill, Burien. Use the link "Salmon Run Map" here for a detailed Google Map. The stops listed are only for directional purposes. Our actual poker hand spots are:

Colman Beach,  1732 Lakeside Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144 

Highliner Public House, 3909 18th Ave W, Seattle, WA 98119 (Lunch stop)

Chelan Café, 3527 Chelan Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106

and the end stop:

The Blu Grouse, 9839 17th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106

Registration opens at 9:30 with Kick Stands Up at 10:30. 

Our lunch stop will be long enough to allow people to go visit the Ballard Locks Fish Ladder during the 2 hour window starting when we arrive at the Highliner. If there are over 25 bikes as anticipated, it is suggested that small groups visit the fish ladder at random times rather than all as one group. There should be sufficient parking at the park near the entrance to the fish ladder which is on the Magnolia side of the Locks.

This will be a somewhat slow but scenic city tour mostly along waterfronts and may be as challenging as a salmon making its way up river. We will have our usual great prizes, 50/50, and Poker.
