Registration for the ride (using the red “Register Now” button above) is REQUIRED to participate.

Face coverings (for mouth and nose) are required when the group makes extended stops. Face coverings are recommended for the duration of the ride. Please bring personal hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and tissues for use at rest stops.
We will observe current social distancing guidelines when off the bike, and strive to maintain at least 10-12ft separation between riders when on the bike.
Join us for a ride from Sumner on a 44.6-mile route at a STEADY Pace of 12-14 MPH
We will ride briefly through downtown Sumner until we work our way to West Valley Hwy E. which will take us to the Outlet Connection in Auburn where we will connect with the Interurban Trail. This will lead us to Main Street which runs through quaint downtown Auburn. We will then enjoy the scenery of the beautiful farmlands as we ride along Green Valley Road all the way to Flaming Geyser. We'll stop for a group picture on the bridge overlooking the river, eat our sack lunches/snacks at Flaming Geyser State Park together and then head back home.
Let's meet at the far west side of the Fred Meyer Parking lot in Sumner at 1:15 PM for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 1:30 PM.
This is a mostly flat ride and our goal will be to stay together. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths for the safety of other cyclists and pedestrians sharing the trail.
Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at Green Valley Meat Market at mile 13.2. We’ll also enjoy a bit more time to rest up and socialize at the halfway point at mile 22.5 which is Flaming Geyser State Park. The park has restrooms and water to refill our water bottles. On our way home we will allow for another stop at Green Valley Meats for restroom use before heading back to Auburn where we will again ride down Main Street and then access the Interurban trail and eventually the Sumner Link Trail back to the Fred Meyer parking lot in Sumner.
Remember to bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.
Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.
We sure hope you can join us!
