This is the first post which consciously tells you about a "get out there and do it" event. These events will be opportunities to participate in an event which is not only related to the planning of the Spokane region, but also gives you a chance to appreciate the region we live in. In other words, something to do that's not a meeting!
The Ice Age Floods Institute (iafi.org) is sponsoring an 11-mile mountain bike ride along the former Milwaukee Road rail line near Rock Creek, south of Cheney. According to the web site:
Transportation routes across the Inland Empire were shaped by the flood formed geography. The Milwaukee Road was no different than other routes, but the advances in construction technology made the route feasible in a way that had not been possible when the first railroad crossed the Channeled Scablands. The now abandoned rail bed is mostly owned by Washington State Parks and will eventually be opened to the public.They received a special permit to enter the park.
Here are your resources for this event:
