This ride will help you prepare for the Chilly Hilly Ride on Sunday, Feb 28th. We will start from Farrel-McWhirter Park in Redmond on Redmond Rd between Novelty Hill Rd and NE116th. We will head towards NE116th, zig-zag on it and then skirt English Hill, heading back down towards NE165th/Avondale and climbing again in the Redmond Ridge area, stopping for a break and then back to Farrel-McWhirter Park.  Restrooms and water should be within main park unless closed. Otherwise we can stop at PCC at corner of NE116th and Avondale.

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
Hilly

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
