Another Kent BF member! Where are you? Would that be the library downtown?

Yes, the downtown branch. They were in the lobby, to the right of the entrance doors. You've probably seen me on the trail. I'm usually wearing white UnderArmor and a bright green vest. I live right by the new Joe Jackson bridge that I'm climbing regularly for Ramrod training. I have a super accurate measured mile on the trail if your interested.

I wonder if mine is the new version....I just moved here. I got mine at the library (Bellevue) about a week or so ago.

Picked mine up at the vehicle license storefront in Covington, of all places. Surprised me. Kent has a library? Again, I'm surprised!

I found the map, just where you said it was! You know, I was with my ride partner last week on Tuesday going down the hill by the Joe Jackson bridge, and stopped to talk to someone on the way down (I was waiting for my partner to catch up). Was that you?

Kent has a library downtown! Unfortunately, there isn't one up on the East Hill. I would be shocked that Covington has bike maps :p . Have I spotted you yet, slotibartfast? Do I remember that you ride BSC?

I don't think we've crossed paths yet, East Hill. As I recall, you ride Soos Creek much earlier in the day than I do - and much more frequently. Had an absolutely great ride today. My first ride ever on the Foothills Trail. Started at the trailhead on the north end in Sumner and rode a couple miles past Orting, then back to the car. A little over 20 miles - it felt great to find a rural trail that had some length to it. I'd been getting frustrated with Soos Creek being so short, so I think I'll be hitting the Foothills more often. Met many friendly folks who were happy to give me info about the trail. Planning to go back with my wife this weekend so she can check it out. Looks like it'd be about a 30 mile round trip, end to end. That's just about right for a weekend jaunt. You ever ridden there?

Just once, on the Tour de Pierce. It looks like a really great trail to ride for the whole length--the TdP was only on part of the trail. I just can't bring myself to drive over there though :o . I like to ride to all the trailheads when I can. My normal longer ride is to head from the East Hill down to Renton, get on the Cedar River Trail, and come back up through Maple Valley. The CRT is about 13 miles one way, so it also makes a nice round trip--about 35 miles total for me, if I remember correctly.
I did take a trip around Lake Youngs today--always fun for seeing the deer :) . And you are right, I do get out to BSC pretty early in the day (and even earlier now with my start time change :mad: ).
