WABI Burien Bikers to cycle Cedar River trestles on Wed October 4

WABI Burien Weekday Bikers will cycle along the eastern portion of the Cedar River Trail on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. We plan to meet a little before 10 AM at the Cedar River Trail parking area  immediately across the street from Foley’s Produce stand 21419 Renton-Maple Valley Rd in Maple Valley, WA.  Cycling east along the cascading Cedar River, we will pass through virgin forests showing their early autumn colors in the surrounding canopy. We cycle over 8 bridges including four paved historic railroad trestle bridges. At trail’s end, we will visit the Landsburg Fish Ladder to witness migrating salmon swimming upstream.  The total distance is 11.3 miles on mixed hard-packed gravel and paved trail. Expected duration: 90-100 minutes.

All participants will need to bring their own bike, a bike safety helmet, and are expected to follow safety guidelines as outlined in the Ride Smart Biking tips.  We also advise all bikers to bring: water for hydration, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a small snack (granola bar, dried fruit, nuts, etc).
