Eastside Hills #21 (Super Strenuous)

Join us for a ride from Sixty Acres South Parking Lot on a 61-mile ride at a super strenuous pace (22+ mph on the flats.)

This week's ride takes us up to the Snoqualmie Plateau.  The route includes a few good-size hills as well as a long, flat stretch in the Snoqualmie River Valley.  Much of the route is on low-traffic country roads which should make for some great riding. 

We will meet in the parking lot east of South Sixty Acres Field. The lot is on the south side of NE 116th St., and east of the smaller soccer field (South Sixty Acres). Please be ready to ride at 9 a.m.  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.)

Port-o-potties are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water/food at mile point 26 at the Snoqualmie Safeway.

Bring a spare tube (or two) 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 there is steady rain or hazardous riding conditions, such as snowy or icy roads, 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.  During the ride we will tolerate light rain or brief showers, but if we encounter heavy rain we may return early.

We hope you can join us!
