Scenic and challenging 47-mile ride at a steady pace (12 -14 mph) from Renton to Black Diamond via Interurban trail (flat) through Kent, Auburn and onto the infamous Black Diamond bakery for a coffee and pastry break (mile 27) and return via Covington-Maple Valley and along the scenic Cedar River trail. We'll climb the slight grade hills at a comfortable pace and regroup at the top.
