Event has already happened.

On these warm summer days, why settle for just a coffee run when you can enjoy a coffee-flavored GELATO run instead? Or salted caramel! Join us on our continuing series of area ice cream and dessert samplings as we head to Sirena Gelato in Kirkland, famous for its intensely flavored Italian-style gelato.

We'll leave from the Issaquah P&R Overflow Lot (at the SE corner of SR900 and Newport Way NW, across from the parking structure) at 10:00 am. Please arrive no later than 9:45 am to hear the safety briefing and route discussion. The pace will be high Moderate (~16 mph on the flats). See http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5399305 for details about the route, its profile and cue sheet. Riders should print the cue sheet and have a spare tube, tools and the know-how to fix a flat. Restrooms are located at the start.

The ride leader will not be at the ride start should weather meet the definition for cancellation (showers). Ride cancellation will be announced in the Comments Section below at least two (2) hours prior to the ride start. If you have questions about the weather, please call 206-909-7742, preferably before you leave for the ride.

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
Some Hills

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
