TREATS: Ride up and down hills and eat Kringle

Join us for a ride from Sixty Acres parking lot in Redmond on a 22 mile route at Steady pace (12-14 mph on flats, your own pace on the hills).

We will ride up and down across Hollywood Hill in Redmond/Woodinville for a hilly and slightly challenging, but short ride.  We will regroup at the top of every hill and no one will be left behind if they climb hills slowly.  After getting some exercise on the hills, we will have a thrilling downhill ride into Woodinville.  We will stop, first, at Molbak's Nursery where we can sample their Kringle and view their poinsettia tree and other Christmas decorations.  Lunch will be across the street at Haggen's grocery store after which the ride will be a flat and easy few miles back to the cars.

Meet at Sixty Acres parking lot (look for the large SE lot) and please be ready to ride at 10 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.  There are porta potties at the start, but no running water.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup frequently.  Lunch is at about 20 miles in Woodinville.  A link to the ridewithgps route and map and cue sheet will be posted a few days before the ride and is being perfected currently.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case.  Fenders are always a good idea this time of year.

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!
