This ride will start at the Park and Ride Lot in Issaquah. We will ride to the start of Ramrod Training Series #2 at the Maple Valley Park and Ride.  There we will meet up with the RTS group and do the RTS ride with them. After the RTS ride we will reverse our course and ride back to Issaquah.

This portion of the ride is 30 miles, out and back.  If you also do the RTS ride, your total mileage will be 80 miles with 3000 ft of climbing.

Directions to the start:  Take I-90 exit 15 and turn south on State Route 900/17th Avenue NW.  Turn left at the 3rd light, with is Newport Way NW.  Turn right at the 1st list, which is the Issaquah Park & Ride overflow lot.  Do not go left into the multi-story covered P&R parking structure.

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
