All riders should be ready to ride at 8:00 am at Renton Community Center. You should arrive early with enough time to unload your bike and use the restrooms as needed.

Cascade Training Series Red pace #9, takes us on a fun 56-mile ride from the Renton Community Center along the Cedar river trail, through Maple Valley, to a short rest stop at The Black Diamond bakery.  We will continue from Black Diamond to the Green River Valley and a lunch stop in Auburn.  We will leave the lunch stop and join the Interurban and Green River trails northbound to Renton.

We will start with a required safety briefing and ride announcements, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.
