Let's Ride Over the Newly Opened White River Bridge (Steady)

Let's meet at the Veterans Monument in Buckley on S. River Ave. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Last Saturday was the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the new White River Bridge on the Foothills Trail connecting the towns of Buckley and Enumclaw. Join me as we ride over the new bridge and through and around the towns of Enumclaw and Buckley. We will stop at the new bridge for pictures. 

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will stay together on this ride. I want us all to enjoy the ride over the new bridge and the beautiful autumn weather and scenic countryside of Enumclaw and Buckley. 

We will leave Buckley on the Foothills Trail. Once in Enumclaw at mile 3.6 we will jump onto the roads and do a loop around Pinnacle Peak before returning to the town of Enumclaw for our coffee stop. After our break we will return to the trail and ride back to Buckley. When we reach Buckley, we will again jump onto the road and do a loop around the back side of Buckley before returning to where we started. 

There are sanicans a block away from our start near the Buckley skate park. Our next restroom will be at mile 13 when we reach Starbucks for our coffee stop.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
