Puyallup Valley Tour Sumner

Meet over by the Garden Center entrance in the parking lot on the east side of the store. If you are new, please read Cascade Bicycle Club information for newcomers. Come see the daffodils of the Puyallup Valley! We'll be leaving Sumner and head up the Sumner Link Trail, through downtown Pacific, then head south through downtown Puyallup with a quick potty break about mile 16. Next we'll head around some farms west of Puyallup, head back through downtown, catch the Riverwalk Trail, ride a short section I like to call "Paris-Roubaix," (okay, it's not quite pavé) ride a segment of the Foothills Trail, then head back into Sumner via Riverside Road and some daffodils. This is a very flat ride with no major hills, we'll regroup as needed. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to hear the SMART talk and have enough time to be ready to ride at 9. Pace: Brisk 16-18 MPH on the flats) Some hills: a few short hills. Frequent regroup as needed. Ice/Snow cancels. Please print cue sheets and bring all necessary tools & tubes to handle any flats etc. Fenders much appreciated by the riders behind you! Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7272326
