Want to have a warm up the day before Chilly Hilly? If you do, then this is a chance to have a relaxed ride that is mostly flat (riders who just want to ride and are not planning to ride the event are welcome to this ride). We’ll start at the Old Renton City Hall and head west towards the Interurban Trail. We’ll ride counterclockwise where we’ll ride at the Green River and Interurban Trails. When we arrive at Kent, we’ll stop by Panera Bread for food and drinks. After our break, we’ll ride northbound on the Interurban Trail and return to Renton. The pace of this ride is based on having no wind. If we have a headwind, the pace will be lower; if we have a tailwind, the pace may be higher. Keep this in mind when deciding to do this ride.
Riders should bring a spare tube, tools and the know-how to fix a flat. Please arrive at the start by 9:15 am for the safety briefing so we can roll promptly at 9:30 am. Restrooms are located approx. ¼ mile northeast of the start (turn left onto Houser Way from the south end of the parking lot…use the sidewalk to go to the restrooms due to heavy car volume).
The ride leader will not be at the ride start should inclement weather meets the definition for cancellation (showers, ice/snow, steady rain). Ride cancellation will be announced in the Comments Section below at least two (2) hours prior to the ride start. If you have questions about the weather, please call 818-590-8167, preferably before you leave for the ride.
