FRUMPS - Lake Wilderness Lodge - Green River Gorge

Come along and join us as we ride the loop from Maple Valley to the Green River Gorge counterclockwise.  We'll pass through suburban and rural neighborhoods on our way south to Black Diamond Bakery for our first restroom/water stop (mile 8).  Then we descend to the Green River Gorge for a group photo op. Just across the bridge are natural springs where you can fill your water bottles.  We climb up to Cumberland through the forest and meander along quiet back roads to Ravensdale for our second restroom/water stop (mile 28).  Lunch is at S'wiched (see menu link below).  Then one of my favorite bike roads through the Rock Creek Natural Area takes us back to Lake Wilderness.  There is a short section (0.4 miles) of packed gravel on the Cedar to Green River trail.

Start: Meet in the Lake Wilderness Lodge parking lot at 9:45 am for the pre-ride safety briefing and route review.  Departure is at 10:00 am.

Regroup: We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and regroup at the top or bottom.
