Triple Creek, Alt.

We had a nice group of about 20 out for the Tuesday OWLS ride. Tom R went over the planned Triple Creek route.
We had hoped that the flooding along Brummett's Creek Road would not extend as far north as the intersection with Fleener. But one person had heard that the intersection was indeed flooded. So on the fly Tom worked out an alternative route. We started as planned down Kerr Creek, a wonderful, long, shady downhill and through the valley. At Getty's Creek Road we planned to turn north instead of south. When joined Mount Gilead and headed north to Highway 45. We then jogged over to Robinson Road via Tunnel. We took Robinson to Old 37, up Firehouse Hill, and back into town via Cascades. We took a short rest stop at the Fire House, where fresh water is available.
Altogether it worked out to about a 28 mile ride for those who made the full loop back to the church parking lot. A great job of re-routing!
