Event has already happened.

The EARTHDREAM Summer Training Series is a set of rides intended for people who have completed a strenuous series such as the RAMROD Training Series or the CATS rides and would like to stay in shape for the duration of the summer. This series puts an emphasis on hill climbing, with each ride featuring multiple hills with a gradient in excess of 15%. This should be a great series of rides for people training for difficult late-season events such the High Pass Challenge or the Passport to Pain. 


Ride #3 in this series explores many of the hills of Kirkland-Bothell-Woodinville and goes out of the way to find some of the extra challenging but little known gems of the area.  I am posting this ride at a "vigorous" pace (18-20mph) rather than strenuous because of increased climbing.  There is also a short stretch on the Samammish River Trail that we will take at a slower pace.

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
Hilly

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
