   GARY..GARy..Gary..gary  he was a friend of mine

   He could lead a ride,  His Heart in every mile

   GARy..GAry..Gary..gary   talked of the joy and pain

   He opened up our minds, And I still can hear him say..

    oh... Talk to me, so few can see, what's going on

   Say you will, lead your rides, for evermore..evermore....evermore.......

   I can't even pretend to lead a ride like Gary, nobody lead a ride like Gary.

    I the spirit of who We are and who He was, we will ride to the Kent Valley, go Frager Road, West Valley Highway, Peasley Canyon

   Commencement Bay, Stadium Highschool, Ruston, Point Defiance. The Tahlequah Ferry will usher us to Vashon and Fauntleroy return.

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
