Ride Contact

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.
With the possibility of rain in the forecast this ride follows a route that allows us to easily head back if we get too wet. The route has some challenging hills (like Hollywood Hill in Woodinville and164th on Cougar Mountain) and also has some long, flat portions that should allow us to stretch our legs.
The starting location is at the South Kirkland Park and Ride. There is no water or restrooms at the starting location, so please plan accordingly. We will plan on one stop for food and water a Starbucks in Redmond.
