TREATS: Sixty Acres to Newcastle

Join us for a ride from Sixty Acres Park in Redmond on a 39 mile route at Steady Pace (12-14 mph on the flats)

This is a route which merges hill climbing with some fairly flat terrain using bike trails, bike lanes and largely quiet neighborhood streets.

Let's meet at the South Parking lot and please be ready to ride at 10:00 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 frequently. 

Restrooms are available at the start (port-a-pot). We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 5 and 17, with optional stop at mile 33. We’ll also stop for a 25 minute combined coffee/snack and rest stop at Starbucks in Newcastle at mile 20. Please bring suitable funds if you plan to purchase food or drink at our coffee/rest stop. A downloadable ride map and cue sheet for GPS navigation devices are at the link below.

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!
