Geocache Description:

10 February 2019, 09:30 - 10:00

Meet from 9:30-10am at the posted coordinates, the parking lot for Van Doren's Landing Park. At 10am, those who wish can take a loop ride on the Green River, Puget Power and Interurban trails.

The 33rd in a series of events along the many mostly flat, mostly paved biking/walking trails in the Seattle area. This time we'll be making a loop using the Puget Power, Green River and Interurban Trails. The trails are paved through their length, although portions are along low-traffic streets and access roads. Also, in my experience, the Puget Power Trail can get some big puddles after it rains, so be advised.

Per geocaching.com event guidelines, the actual event is the meet-up from 9:30-10am at the posted coordinates, which is the parking lot for Van Doren's Landing Park. This event is outdoors, but I will only cancel this event if the weather is terrible: heavy rain, lightning/thunder, snow or ice. Bring a waterproof layer if it might rain, and enough layers/gloves/etc to ward off any cold.

Information for the ride: We'll be riding the Green River Trail a short distance south to the Puget Power Trail, which cuts over to the Interurban. In Tukwila, we'll exit the Interurban for a short stretch on city streets to use the new Southcenter Bridge over the Green River, then take the Green River Trail back to the start. Mileage is a little less than 12 miles. The route is here: (visit link)

There are some fast food restaurants near the north turnaround, in case you need some calories. Please show up well before 10 so we can leave on time. Check your brakes and air beforehand if you will be biking. Participants in the optional bicycle ride hold harmless the cache owner/event organizer and assume all risks and responsibilties involved in riding a bicycle on trails and streets. Wear a helmet, dress in layers, and bring a spare tube.
