This Thursday is reaaaaally feeling like a Friday. I think I’m just excited for a sunny weekend. It seems recently that the sun only visits Seattle on weekdays and heads on vacation on the weekends, so I’m pumped for a fully sunny weekday for the first time in a while!

If your idea of a perfect summer weekend involves a little more adrenaline than a patio and a cold drink, this giveaway’s for you.

Celebrate 50 years of MotoAmerica Superbike season June 26-28 at Ridge Motorsports Park as motorcycles hit 190mph on track. Watch baggers reach the same speeds as the superbikes as they battle to be America's fastest road racer. Win tickets today!*
