Summer Snoqualmie Adventure (Vigorous)

~Summer Snoqualmie Adventure~

This is a redo of the final CHEW ride of the year it is 66 miles, with 3400 ft elevation. All significant climbs are in the first half of the route, so take it easy on the climbs. It’s a beautiful route with some great scenery, so definitely worth it!

Restrooms are available at the start. There’s plenty of parking space, and additional street parking is available nearby if needed.

Our primary stop is at QFC/Starbucks in North Bend at mile 33.
There are two more restroom stops at Rattlesnake Lake (mile 28) and at the Middle Fork trailhead (mile 48),

Also, please note that cellphone coverage is spotty in the Middle Fork Valley.

Registration: Registration on the Cascade site is free and greatly helps the sign in process for the ride leaders.  We also encourage you to RSVP on Meetup so you can join conversation and see photos.

Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the start time to hear the route briefing, safety notes, and sign the waiver form for an on-time departure. You will NOT be allowed to ride if you do not show up in time to hear the safety briefing.

Mechanicals/Pace: Riders should be able to sustain the appropriate pace for their selected group, know how to read a cue sheet, change a flat tire (and have the requisite equipment to do so) and have a positive attitude. Ride Leaders will not stop long for flats or mechanical issues due to group safety.

Cue Sheets: Please print a cue sheet if you need one.  Rest stops will be planned as noted on the route cue sheet or ride notes.

Equipment: A good tail light is recommended. Helmets are required to ride. If roads are wet, fenders will be required.

Regroup policy:  We will regroup at the top of hills for a reasonable amount of time as well as at major turns. Stops will be brief.

Cancellation Policy: Rain or otherwise unsafe riding conditions will cancel. In the event that conditions are as described for cancellation, ride leaders may not come to the ride start. Ride cancellation will be posted in the Comments section in both the Cascade and Meetup postings for this date at least two hours prior to the ride start in the event that ride leaders will not come to the ride start.
