How about a relaxing ride up the Kent Valley from Sumner to Alki beach for coffee and muffins. Good ride to build up those seat muscles. We'll leave out of the Sumner Fred Meyer (east end of lot, next to garden center). This will be a mostly flat ride with much of the ride on trails (Interurban and Green River). Pace: 14 - 16 MPH on the flats. Please bring tubes, tools etc., arrive early enough to prepare your bike, hear the SMART talk and roll out on time. RSVP on Cascade Meetup not required but is appreciated.

Pace

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Mostly Flat

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
