Event has already happened.

This is easily one of the most beautiful rides in the area and one of the most popular, featuring a great descent to Flaming Geyser. 

We will head towards Black Diamond via the Cedar River Trail where we will stop at the Black Diamond Bakery for baked goods and coffee before returning to Renton by way of the Green Valley Road.

Note: We will adhere to the posted speed limits on the mixed use trails.

The ride leader will not be at the ride start should weather meet the definition for cancellation (showers). Ride cancellation will be announced in the Comments Section below at least two (2) hours prior to the ride start and the ride leader will monitor the phone and email listed.

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
Some Hills

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.

  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
