Ride Contact
Event has already happened.
The EARTHDREAM Summer Training Series is a set of rides intended to help strong riders who have completed the CATS or the RTS series maintain their fitness level for challenging late-season rides such as the Passport 2 Pain, the Tour de Blast, or the High Pass Challenge. These are very hilly, very challenging rides. They are all about 80 miles long, but they gradually increase the amount of climbing from 6000 to almost 10,000ft. The routes seek out not just elevation gain but gradient as well, with each route featuring multiple hills in excess of 15% grade.
Here is the approximate schedule:
8/1 - 6000ft - Done
8/8 - 7000ft
8/15 - No ride (I'll be out of town)
8/22 - 8000ft
8/29 - 9500ft
9/5 - 5000ft (taper week)
The second ride features a number of challenging but lesser-known hills in the Woodinville/Kirkland area. The route loops back on itself so there are many opportunities to cut it short if desired.
