Buck Run Community Center, 735 Scott Avenue. Trail intersections are remarkably well marked - the once when not, I needed to just follow the trail's yellow-marked center line.Tom Robertson, 55, has been the Buck Run Community Center Recreation Director since May 2000. There is one curlyqueue of tight turns on the Redmond end. Not a lot of shade on this ride, so sunscreen up if you're riding midday. I did not detect any odors from the river. The first couple miles continuing west on the Burke-Gilman, in Bothell, were a dramatic change - urban, noisy, running alongside busy State Route 522. The park and arbors the trail passes through/by in Woodinville are lovely. A farmwife was just pulling in her "see the quilts" sign as I passed. The section north of Redmond to Woodinville is agricultural and lovely. My Friday midday ride (11:30 or so to 2) did see walkers along a few miles at the Redmond end, in Woodinville, and at the Bothell end, and other cyclists and a couple rollerskaters, but did not feel crowded, and I expressed and experienced politeness throughout. Thickest in the few miles at either end of the trail.

Allergy sufferers be aware: cottonwoods are shedding their "cotton" - the air is full of the stuff, like it's snowing lightly - not sure when it ends, but there's plenty of "cotton" still on the trees - and not sure when it began but the river is dusted in white, and there are places where the edge of the trail looks snow-drifted, thick with the stuff. Smooth paved ride from Redmond trailhead to Bothell, and onto the Burke-Gilman there two days ago (May 26) - 24 miles up-and-back on my hybrid bike.
