RUSA 5281 - Happy Trails 200k

A new 200k permanent route!

I created the route, with copious help from Bill Gobie, because I wanted an easy 200k that was closer to home (so I don't have to drive to and from Snohomish during the winter!).  It was approved on 10/17, but today was the first day I could ride it.

When I registered for it, I was surprised to find someone else had already ridden it - Sarah Stolz rode it two days earlier.  I sent her messages to see if she had any issues, but didn't hear anything, so I just set out on my own ride.  Amazingly, I ran into her on the BGT!

While we were chatting, Rich Knox, Brian Hanners and a few other CBC riders showed up (oops, forgot to take a picture!).

Unfortunately, the West Seattle Low Bridge is closed today through Sunday, so I had to take a detour — that Bill Gobie created — so I didn't really get to ride the exact route, but in another coincidence,  I ran into Bill too!

Anyway, the weather was as perfect as a late October day in Seattle could possibly be, and I LOVE the route!

Spoiler: If you don't like riding on trails, just don't even bother with this route.   It uses EVERY possible trail. 😁
