We'll ride from the Newport Hills P&R and around South Lake WA and Mercer Island. Moderate high pace (16mph) on flat terrain, self pace while riding up the hills, and regroup at each hill top. There is no restroom at the P&R where we meet. We'll stop for a rest room stop break at Gene Coulon Park at mile 6 and again at the Mercer Island Lid Park at mile 20 for rest room and nutrition. There is no food to be purchased so please bring your own. Please bring a spare tube and equipment to fix a flat if needed and print a cue sheet if you prefer to follow them. Route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6611181

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
