The hard part is to figure out where to meet! It does sound as if there is starting to be quite a contingent of Soos Creek and vicinity folks, though.
Please note that I am quite slow, though

I might just be slower than you East Hill, so you'll have plenty company! You just mentioned a possible meeting place...Soos Creek!

Soos Creek would be a good starting point for us East Hillers/Covingtonians/etc.
I'm at the north end, but would be happy to start at the south end if that's more convenient for folks. BSC is not really a long ride, but it's a start
.
I do have a favourite longer route, which is to start at BSC, down the East Hill into Renton, along Cedar River Trail into Maple Valley, and head back up to the East Hill on SE 240th.

I was friends from somebody from the east hill of Kent. He used to talk about it like it was some gang infested area where only the hoodlums dwell.

Dunno about that EffSizzle...it's pretty quiet in our area. The biggest excitement so far had been the eeriely clad kids doing the rounds on Halloween.

I can't make it this Sunday, but perhaps next week?
On the other hand, if anyone would like to simply have me act as a tour guide, send me a PM

We have our share believe me. And, it seems to be getting closer and closer to us.

I would have never thought...I guess the bridge doesn't really keep people out, but there's really not much in the way of town there. Must be coming in from Marysville or Arlington?
Hm.

Last summer we had a series of home break-ins by a couple of teens (not our house but here on the island). They eventually caught them. They were hiding out in the forest on the south end.
My kid's bike was stolen right off our front lawn a few years ago. Now we lock everything in the garage...out of sight out of mind.

Corvallis, OR here. I ride to campus every day, some days twice. It's about 4 miles from where I live, so a short commute compared to a lot of you.
The nice part of corvallis is that you can get easily anywhere by bike and it's so bike friendly!

Vancouver, Washington here. I commute every day 20 to 40 miles depending on time and the weather. I love taking the long way home!
Ciao.
