Middle Fork Snoqualmie ride-out & back.

**Meeting time is 7:30 am-Update-we'll plan to shorten the route due to a report about trail conditions, the trail is pretty bad with a lot of blow downs between Dingford Creek & Goldmyer.  We'll plan to ride from the main parking lot to the Dingford Creek waterfall & back.** Keep in mind that this is a remote area with no cell service.  Make sure to bring enough water, snacks, and lunch. It wouldn't hurt to bring a portable water filter just in case & a basic first aid kit. 

Join us for a ride on the Middle Fork Snoqualmie trail.  Starting from the Middle Fork Snoqualmie trailhead/parking lot.  https://goo.gl/maps/JVaZSqgW8Kb8Mu7i8  I'm going to try to park on the west side of the parking lot by the trailhead, close to the pit toilet.  I have a red Xterra.  We'll plan to start the ride about 7:45 or so, as long as we have everyone there.  

We'll start early because this is a multi-use trail and it's easier to start early when fewer people are out.  This is a fantastic technical XC route with some challenging features and awesome scenery.  Rolling hills, roots, rocks, step-ups, etc. Moderate pace, but we'll stop for photos along the way.  We'll plan to ride to the Dingford creek waterfall and back to the parking lot.   Total mileage: about 12.45 miles, elevation gain: about 1900 feet of climbing.  Bring a lunch, plenty of water, and rain gear if appropriate.
