That date works for us! The only other thing going on is an event at DH's work that he is less than enthused by...so I think he will be all for the ride also.

Supported TE ride to flaming geiser Aug 19th
To disable ads, please log-in.
okay, in the hopes of getting more folks to ride; I am putting this out there;
instead of Sunday the 12th, how about Sunday the 19th? Let me know if you can go!
and those of us that CAN ride the 12th, i'd still like to; but it won't be the supported ride.

I could do one or the other, or possibly both.

The 19th is certainly more do-able for me.

I kind of doubt I could get out of town for the 19th, but it sounds fun. Where is Flaming Geyser? Is it a Mt. Rainier ride?

Flaming Geyser is between Auburn and Enumclaw, it's not really close to Rainier.
I will be back in time for this ride! Mr. East Hill thinks we will be back no later than Saturday evening.
Start at 8.00 am at Coulon Park? Earlier? Or perhaps start at the Cedar River Park parking lot?

8am at Coulon should be good. Forgive me for spelling Geyser wrong the second time. !!

It's mostly on streets, and not very hilly.
it ends in a nice park where you can see the flaming geyser and/or put your feet in the water.

It sounds wonderful! I can't wait to read the description either, I've never been to that area.
Starfish, it would be great if you could make it. It will be a perfect recovery ride after the big one

well, ahem.. the geyser looks more like a candle. in the sunlight it's hard to see if it's lit. It's a methane exhaust pipe .. there used to be mines in the area.
