Hills of the West Coast

Let's meet at the Sam Smith Park and please be ready to ride at  8:30 am.  I’ll start with a required safety briefing, and we’ll roll out when that's done.  We'll pick up riders at Enatai Beach Park (under east end of I-90 east channel bridge) at 9:00, then pick up riders at Tibbetts Park in Issaquah at 9:30.  

We'll climb Squak from Tibbetts, and then go out to May Valley.  We’ll climb Licorice Fern hill going thru May Valley, and then climb China Creek and Newcastle Golf.  We’ll finish off with 3 little bonus climbs on the Cougar climb, and then enjoy the Montreux descent.   We may substitute the High Valley climb off May Valley Rd for the 3 Cougar bonuses.
There will be no specific food stop on this ride.  So please bring plenty of nutrition and two water bottles for such a long hilly ride.
