Elliott Rd and Union Hill

Join us for a ride from View Ridge in Northeast Seattle on a 74.5  mile route at a brisk pace (16-18 mph on flat roads)!

This is another route adapted from the CATS Series.  We'll head north to Kenmore and North Creek and then make our east way to Elliott Road and the Snoqualmie Valley.  After climbing and descending Union Hill into Redmond, we'll return via Woodinville and Lake Forest Park with a few bonus hills along the way.

Let's meet by the restrooms at View Ridge Playfield and please be ready to ride at 8:30 am. 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 frequently. 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/water at miles 24 and 52.4.  Both stops have grocery stores and a Starbucks.  

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!
