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.

By popular demand, we will be riding at Syncline both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.  The ride logistics are the same for both: 

We will be carpooling from Gateway Transit Center, leaving at 10am.  See the map for the parking lot location, it is the one that is not near the parking garage and does not have gates.  We will be at the trailhead around 11:30am. 

Ride and then be back in town for Seasons showing at the Baghdad!  We will be carpooling from Gateway Transit Center.  See the map for the parking lot location, it is the one that is not near the parking garage and does not have gates.

We will ride for a few hours and wait for all riders at trail junctions.  Please bring food, water, and appropriate clothing.  A change of clothes for the ride home is also recommended.

 

Okay, so really nothing will be sinful about this day or ride.  It should be a delightful time with great folks.  Come on out and ride with us.  Meet up with friends from last year's riding season that have been in hibernation and meet new friends too!  The time to ride is now! 

A fun day riding at Syncline.  And to think, I've never been to Syncline before - that is likely the true sin here!  But, there is going to be some fine folks on hand that have knowledge of the trails.  Judging by Jordan's forum post, the conditions are primo right now.

Cecily and I rode out in Syncline today. The weather east of the mountains was nice, partly cloudy with some wind. We rode up the main fire road and then a long the ridge to until we reached a trail that dropped down along a cliff to the Catherine Creek Parking area. This trail, that I don't know the name was steep and challenging with a muddy off-clamber top section and a much rockier lower section along the cliff face. The exposure was pretty high in places.
