I'm supposed to work on Sunday night and it could run fairly late.
So 11am?
I had a lot of fun riding Tolt McDonald a couple of weeks ago.
The guy I was riding with said it was a lot like a slightly smaller Lake Sawyer. That's further for me, but might be closer for Matthew?
I'm also kind of curious about the Snoqualmie Tree Farm trails.
Anyway, I'm not too attached to any one option. If anyone wants to come and plans to ride a 'cross bike - speak up. I don't know Lake Sawyer or Snoqualmie Tree Farm, but I think getting something not a mountain bike up the Tolt McDonald climb would kinda suck.

Yeah, check the timestamps on that: two minutes apart. I was slowly typing my message on my ittybitty blackberry when you posted yours. We must be telepathic or something.
If you're willing to come to my side of the sound, we can hit Port Gamble. Pretty easy riding.
Port Gamble looks kind of cool, but I'm going to whine about it anyway because work could run very late on Sunday night. What's your Seattle-side option?

Carpool's cool. I think we live pretty close. Have we chosen a location yet? I'm still in favor of something on this side of the sound - I'm going to be working super-late and want all the sleep I can get. :)

The climb into Tolt McDonald is really hard, and I don't know the other areas... Do you guys just want to hit St. Ed's?
It's really hard? It is a couple hundred foot climb and there are only one or two sections of it that are technical, but they are really short. It offers a lot more terrain once you get to the top than St Ed's does.
I'd like to go to Port Gamble sometime, but have to work tomorrow.
It looks like we're going to get a little precipitation tonight, so SeaTac will actually be good. Let's say South SeaTac, 1200? Meet at the lot on the left, just off South 200th Street, before 20th Ave South, which is the road you go down to get to the cyclocross races (it's usually gated off, so we might not be able to park at the races' location).
Call me if you're lost: (kitsap area code) 286 8549.
Banner Forest is usually worse if it's wet. Trail erosion and all.

I have a few mechanical issue which arose during it's maiden voyage last night which are going to prevent me from testing the off road abilities of the Fargo today. It rides, but I have some concerns I'd like to sort out prior to running it through the rigors of real off road riding.
