John will be gone we'll still do a variation of the Red Barn ride this week. A mostly flat social ramble in the rural Snoqualmie River Valley, with a short stop for refreshment at Starbucks in Carnation on the way back. We'll go at about 15-16 mph on the flats when there is no wind.
Porta-pot (quality always in question) but no water at the start. Pit toilet at Chinook Bend Park/Mile 11.4. Restroom and water on the return leg at Carnation/Mile 23. A RideWithGPS route map and cue sheet are at the Link, below. If you need a cue sheet, please print one. Electric-assist bikes welcome.
It can be a long way to Fall City. Please plan your trip to be ready to ride 10 minutes before start time so we can do the safety briefing and get on the road. Bring ID; spare tube, tools, pump, patch kit, and skills to fix flats; and a phone and a plan for rescue if your bike fails. If roads are wet, rooster tails from bare tires are a safety issue for other riders. Fenders with long mudflaps are encouraged.
Please RSVP by clicking on the red "Register Now" button under the ride title above. NOTE: I will print the ride waiver at 7 AM on ride day. It's not a problem if you decide after that time to ride but you'll need to sign in at the start.
If weather conditions meet the "Showers cancel" criterion, I will post a ride-canceled note in Comments below at least 2 hours prior and not go to the start. Please check here before leaving for the ride.
