Bike & Hike at Watershed Park

We had a combined bike & hike event this morning at Watershed Park.  Scott, Viki, Paula and I biked from Fones Road to the Eastside Road entrance of the park, approximately 2 miles.  We were met by Michelle, Pam, Ces and Michele for the hike portion.  The hike in the park was a little under two miles.  It had a couple of little hills to get our blood pumping, but nothing too strenuous.  Even with the beautiful, dry weather we've had lately, we still encountered a few muddy spots.  In all, it was a nice little Saturday morning picker-upper.  Afterward we rode back to our cars, which, unfortunately was uphill (the ride to the park was so much faster & easier!).  But we all prevailed.  Thanks everyone for coming!


Viki all excited to get riding!  Paula getting her bike ready.


Paula, Viki, Susan & Scott.  Paula ended up not doing the hike so we had to get a group photo of just the bikers.


Only in the Northwest: hiking with Starbucks :)

Viki and I were the tree huggers this time. 
Wow!  That's some glow on her backpack.



Viki was bad so Mother Nature put her in tree jail.




The one really big hill.


Hard to tell in this picture, but this slug was HUGE! He's hanging on to the side of the tree trunk.
