A section of the Sammamish River Trail in Redmond will be closed until Friday, May 14, while work crews repair a 200-foot section.
Access by bicycle riders and walkers will be shut down between Northeast Marymoor Way (the western access to the park) and Leary Way.
King County suggests that bicyclists find alternate access to the section of trail north of Leary Way as there's no detour through the work area…..

It's looking more and more like the Tour of Missouri is going the way of the Tour of Georgia, the Tour Dupont and the Coors Classic. In a word, extinct.
The continued bad economy and reluctance of any major sponsor to come to the plate have forced the organizers of the week-long stage race to set a deadline to learn whether the race will receive a $1 million infusion from the state.
The chairwoman of the state tourism board, which has funded a portion of the pro cycling race in the past, says it has to spread its $14 million budget across the state and can't commit $1 million to just one event.
The head of Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Foundation is as frustrated as everyone else in trying to get a funding commitment ….

What epic bicycle race starts in Amsterdam this weekend?
The 2010 Giro d'Italia, of course. The three-week Grand Tour around Italy — rolling out Saturday until May 30 — often starts far from home. Work is even underway to launch the 2012 Giro in Washington DC.
Something as extreme as a trans-Atlantic transition might be necessary to maintain interest in the race in North America in coming years as the Amgen Tour of California has scheduled itself May 16 – 23, right in the middle of the classic Italian bike race.
That scheduling competition in May means that the cycling teams and racers have to choose between the two events.
Lance Armstrong, who competed at the Giro for the first time ever last year, and sprinter Mark Cavendish (Columbia), for instance, have opted to race in California (Armstrong's RadioShack team wasn't even invited to the Giro).
World champion Cadel Evans, however, is racing at the Giro ….
