EARTHDREAM Rides May Valley Road

EAstside Ride The Hill DREAM rides are focused on helping strong riders get stronger by training on challenging hills. You can ride the hills at your own pace; we will regroup at the top. EARTHDREAM rides emphasize teamwork and cooperative riding in a way that is fun and encourages each rider to develop their cycling skills.  Our pace tends to be consistent especially on hills where the climbs are fast and strong.  Riders who struggle to maintain a vigorous pace may find it challenging to stay with the group.  We will attempt to accommodate people with a range of abilities, but riders who are significantly off the group pace should come prepared to finish the ride on their own if necessary.  Please note that while on multi-use trails we will observe trail speed limits.  

This week's route is a relatively flat 70 miles.  Some of the highlights include May Valley Road, Beaver Lake, and both floating bridges.  It should be fun!

We will plan one stop on this ride at a Starbucks in Issaquah.  

The starting location is at the South Kirkland Park and Ride.  There are no restrooms or water at the start, so please plan accordingly.  

If you click the "Register Now" button on this page it saves you from having to sign in at the start of the ride.  Also, it gives me an idea of how many people to expect.

Steady rain, ice, and snow cancel this ride.  If the ride is cancelled due to weather, a notice will be posted in the comments 2 hours prior and the ride leader will not be at the start.  Be sure to check back on this web site for weather updates if the weather is in doubt. Please bring fenders if the roads are wet.
