Event has already happened.

Mostly road but some dirt trails thrown in for fun. Off road sections include Ravenna, Husky Stadium, Magnuson Park, Matthews Beach, Carkeek Park, Golden Gardens. This ride has some non technical off road sections. Tires of 25mm or wider should suffice. If there are too many people on an off road section we will change the route for safety. When we do the trail sections we will slow to a pace that is safe when encountering pedestrians. The forecast is for rain. Be able to fix any mechanicals and have the tools and supplies to do so. See the link and download the route ahead of time in case we get separated. Expect your bike to get dirty.

  • Advance registration required. Cancel if unable to attend, to open space for others.
  • Must be present at safety briefing to participate.
  • Helmets required.
  • Riders under 18 years old require parental consent & approval from the Ride Leader.

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.
