Ride: Buck Creek Trail
I'm interested in checking out the Buck Creek Trail. I have never ridden there! It would be great to have folks on this ride that have been there before, but if not it will be somewhat exploratory on my part. We'll plan to carpool from Gateway Transit Center, south parking lot not near the parking garage and not gated (See map below), and depart at 8:00am.
Plan for several hours of riding, with climbing and descending. Bring water and food and appropriate clothing. A change of clothes for the ride home is nice too.
I plan to attend a birthday party and the mountain bike movie at the Clinton Street Theater and will be back in town in the early afternoon to allow time to get cleaned up before the movie.
Please RSVP so that I don't leave without you.

I'm in, Ryan. I live in Vancouver so I'll see if Chris B., who also lives up here, wants to ride and carpool together. If not, then I'll see you at Gateway. Which parking area? South or north? Will be in touch with you before Sat. morning regardless.

Sorry, forgot to link in
Sorry, forgot to link in the map. For future reference, when I meet up at Gateway Transit Center, I like to meet at the south parking lot. This is the parking lot that is not near the parking garage and is not gated.
This is going to be a great day of riding! See you all there.

Thanks, Ryan. No word from Chris yet. See you at Gateway.
