Event has already happened.

Let's shake off the winter with a great ride on the Orting Trail. We will start at the McMillian Trailhead just north of Orting immediately after the Puyallup River Bridge on Rt. 162. There are restroom facilities to get started and plenty of parking. We will ride through Orting and out to South Prairie and have a break at the coffee shack. Then we will ride back. It is supposed to be sunny, so pack some sunglasses and let's hit the trail.

Distance
20 mi.
Pace
Steady: [12-14mph]

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
Mostly Flat

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
