Default Snow Ride on Saturday 29th - cancelled

Hello everyone.

Starting a thread to plan a snow ride to open the Winter.

Initial idea is going to Tonga Ridge.

We meet on Saturday morning at 9am in Bothell. How about the Fred Meyer at Trashers Corner? We can buy food and other last minute stuff there and then just take the road.

We can also meet earlier, ride the trail and go to Leavernworth for a late lunch.


Please reply to this thread confirming and I'll add your name + any other riders coming with you.

Cheers!

OK. Here we are on the list (updated on 11/27 - 9:40pm)


Meet at 8:30am at the Trashers Corner Fred Meyer's parking lot in Bothell. There's a vet shop in that parking lot, near the intersection. Let's meet there. It will be easier to spot each other.

Sorry folks. Weather did not help this time. After checking with other riders we decided to call this one out and wait for the weather to improve.


Going (confirmed)
- Sahara_Maverick +1 Jeep
- tippedover
- ronin2120
- sea bass

Maybe going (pending confirmation)
- mdash
- gary* - meeting at the smoke stacks / chevron in Monroe - waiting for final confirmation for the second stop


Leavenworth after ride still TBD - could be a pizza at Ricco's

What's the trail like? Is it a forest road or is it similar to some of the stuff we did last weekend? I'm not familiar with that area - but a cold beer at Leavenworth sounds amazing!

Indeed!


More like a forest road. Went there a couple years ago (with mdash if memory does not fail) and we managed to go half way through but it was much later in the year and the snow depth was crazy.

I have a few photos in my album.

Doesn't work for either

I'm interested as well - I'll probably come back blewett/snoqualmie if we end up going to Leavenworth.

Great to see another run posted! It'll be nice if this section gets more active again. With that being said, I most likely won't make this run. I'll post up if something changes.

We may be game for the trail run, but would not take the time to go to Leavenworth, but rather grab a pizza at Ricco's in Gold bar on the way home.
Will have to let you know Thursday/Friday if we can.

Link is working. I just clicked on it and went straight to the album. I noticed that the album settings changed from the original "visible only to registered users" to "contacts and moderators only". Maybe some new settings in the forum.

Anyway. Please check it again and let me know.

Cheers!
