Buck Creek Ride & small project!!!
Small work project and BIG Ride
Goal is to start with a small work project building a small section of trail (approx. 100’). The area of work is near where we will be parking and the section of trail has been cleared and flagged. All we need to do is remove some topsoil and rough in a tread. Bring your bike and be ready to ride as soon as we put away the tools. This event is 80% fun and 20% trail work.
Date: July 4th
Meeting Time: 9AM
Location: At the main trail sign at the four-way intersection near Northwestern Lake. See directions below.
Work to be done:
We will not work more than 1-2 hrs.
Area of work is a small reroute on the Lower Buck Creek Loop.
Goal is to make the trail more intuitive and to improve ride.
Tools to Bring: Mclouds, Pulaski’s, shovels.
Ride:
Once we put away the tools we will ride up to Nestor Peak, back down and around the Lower Buck Creek Loop.
Approx. 18 miles.
Skill level: Intermediate / Advanced
Having good cardio conditioning is recommended. We will climb about 3800’ of elevation by the time we are done.

Detailed Directions:
From Hood River cross the bridge to Washington. Turn left onto Hwy 14, Drive a couple miles, Turn right onto Hwy 141 connector road and proceed north. At the road merge with Hwy 141 go left and proceed north. Drive about 2 miles. Turn left at the sign for Northwestern Lake. Follow road down the hill & cross the bridge. The meeting place is at the large trail map located at the 4-way intersection w/ Lakeview Rd.
In closing, this is a great way to volunteer and to get in a good ride. Best of all, you will have time to get back home in time for the evening 4th of July festivities.
Please RSVP via email so I know you are coming.
