Auburn to Ristrettos

Join us for a ride from Regal Cinemas Parking Lot at Outlet Collection on a 36 mile route at a moderate pace (14-16mph)!

We will enjoy a nice warm up on the first 5 miles of the route as we pass through Auburn.  At around mile 5.3, we begin our 4 mile easy climb up SE Auburn Black Diamond Road.  At the top we continue on, riding rollers to our rest stop at Ristrettos (mile 16.8).   After a nice break of coffee and pastries, we will head back.  It's all downhill on the return, except for a couple of tiny bumps.  When we turn left onto 218th Ave SE we will have a one mile 9% descent from the Black Diamond Plateau to the Green Valley below.  Once at the bottom it's a flat beautiful country road all the way back.

“Let's meet at the Regal Cinemas Parking Lot at Outlet Collection and please be ready to ride at 9:45. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup occasionally. 

Restrooms are available in the Walmart at the start. 

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 hope you can join us!
