T-Day NO Hill Ride (Steady)

Here's an early morning Thanksgiving Day ride that does not require you to go up the local hills!   If you want a more laid-back ride without the hypoxic effects of the hill climbing, then here is alternate way to start the Thanksgiving Day morning!   You can still throw the turkey in the oven, set the timer, and get out for a fun, relaxed ride starting at Marymoor Park East - we'll be complete in time for the afternoon kickoffs, tipoffs, family & friend get-togethers, etc. After completing this ride, while others may wax about their hill climbing, you can rest assured that you will still feel a certain heightened sense of self-righteous smugness as you choose a second helping of yams with brown sugar & marshmallows or an extra drum stick. Riders should be able to sustain an overall Steady pace, read a cue sheet, and change a flat. Riders can ride on their own, in small groups, or with the ride leader. Riders can email the Ride Leader by the preceding Tuesday noon for the final route cue sheet pdf (the current plan is at http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6492417 and the cue sheet is attached to this announcement). Faster riders and better hill climbers are welcome but for them the ride can be self-paced and self-guided. The ride leader is generally slow up hills but will always get there (and there aren't many hills on this ride route!).
