Here's a little outline for the weekend (keep in mind all the times are
approximate, they will change a little)
Saturday-
*9:30am* we will meet out on the rocks of Belle Isle for natural
trials. I'll be out there around 9, but you can show up pretty much any
time in the morning, just be there before we go get lunch
*12:30pm* we will head into town for lunch. Afterwards we'll drive
down to the Belle Ilse parking lot.
*2:00pm* Muni around Belle Isle
Sunday-
*10:00am* we will meet at Buttermilk trail. After muni we can go into
town or something to find lunch. It's about a 2-3 hour trail with some
stops if I remember right.
*~1:00pm* we'll go get some lunch
*2:30pm* people will probably start leaving, but I'm sure there will be
a few people who want to go over to the Kanawha plaza area for some
urban trials/street with me.
Parking for the Saturday morning ride on the Belle Isle rocks (quoted
from another thread from Hell-on-wheel) -
The ride will be on the south side of the island, marked "Natural
Trials" on the map. So, when driving in, I recommend crossing the river
on the Robert E. Lee Bridge, take the first exit onto Riverside Dr.,
then making your first left onto W 20th St., where there's plenty of
street parking, and only about a 3 min. walk off the rocks.
To get to the rocks from W 20th St.- The "Back Door to Belle Isle"
(switch to satellite view) is a footbridge that connects to the Isle's
trail system. After parking at 20th Street, look across Riverside Drive
for the entrance. I don't think it's marked, but there should be a
noticeable recess in the trees, it's a concrete structure set in about
30 feet from the road. After crossing, you'll want to keep the railroad
tracks on your right (heading east) and follow the trail until you can
start hopping over onto the river rocks.

You can click the little blue markers to find out where everything else
is like the parking lot for Buttermilk trail, the parking lot where we
will meet for muning on Belle Isle, and Kanawha plaza.
