I think I could get to the trailhead by 2:15 . . . but honestly, if you want to stick to the earlier time by all means do so, and don't worry about me -- I'm just worried that if I reschedule on my hairdresser one more time she'll fire me (things have gotten a little out of control lately)

I am totally okay with starting later, Jocelyn. MM, how long is our ride? I'm thinking we have plenty of time.

Length of trail is @18 miles - Snohomish to Arlington, so we can decide if we do all or part once we're out there...I'm flexible ...also, how about we meet/start at 3 at the trailhead?
Here's a link for driving directions: http://www.seattlebiketours.org/memb...ial_trail.html

I would love to do this, but Raleighdon wants me to ride 70 miles on Saturday so this will not be enough.

Yep, and you'd understandably be looking to start earlier in the day too.

I've done the Snohomish > Lk Stevens > Arlington > Darrington > Rockport > Concrete > Sedro-Woolley > Arlington > Lk Stevens > Snohomish loop (@150 miles) as the final training ride for every 1-day STP I rode...and I am a 5-time 1-day'er, so it worked for me!
We'll miss you this time, Mimi...see you on the road soon hopefully!

let's make it 3 to meet; that gives us all more time, ok? Originally Posted by jocelynlf

Jocelyn, can you get to Snohomish by then? I just spotted your message but had already posted the link for directions to the trailhead in Snohomish...will that work for you?
