To the Paradise

Join us for a ride up Paradise, Mount Rainier from Longmire on a 25 mile route at moderate pace.  

This is a very challenging but scenic route. Although we will climb and descend at our own pace, you need to have some hill climbing training this season to enjoy this ride. Ride leaders will ride at moderate pace effort on the way up and will stop at different viewpoints, i.e. Narada Falls to adore the scenery.  We will also stop for a longer break at Paradise Inn before descending down to Reflection Lake and back to Longmire.  Bring a snack or lunch with you to start the ride.

Let's meet at the Longmire parking lot and  be ready to ride at 11:30am.  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.

Restrooms are available at the start. There are restrooms along the way. 

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.

***Don't forget to bring your national park pass if you have one or be prepared to pay the park entrance fee.***

We hope you can join us!
