Eastside Hills #12

Join us for a ride of some challenging hills in Kirkland at vigorous pace of 18-20mph!  The route for this week is similar to the Seven Hills of Kirkland Metric Century but includes Simonds Road, Hollywood Hill, and NE 40th in Bellevue for a total of 12 distinct hills with 4800ft of climbing.    It should be fun and will provide a good workout!

Let's meet at the Kirkland Transit Center and please be ready to ride at 8:00am. 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 at the top of each hill. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/food/water at mile 30 at the Kingsgate Safeway.  

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!
