This ride is half flat and half rolling with a few steep hills. Much of the route is on bike trail, designated bike lane, or good road shoulder. This ride follows the least difficult climb from the Green River Valley over the ridge that separates the valley from Puget Sound. If the weather is clear you will have a good view of Puget Sound and the Olympics as we ride by Three Tree Point. If it's rainy and windy you will get a nice helping of rain and wind.
Expect wet conditions and take it easy on the curvy downhill sections. It's easy to get going too fast for conditions on some of the descents. If you stay behind the ride leader on the downhills you should be OK. If heavy rain develops during the ride we will change the route to avoid some very steep descents.
We will regroup at the top of hills. Map and cue sheet are on ridewithgps.com.

Start at the Des Moines Marina in front of H dock: http://www.desmoinesmarina.com/
If the group is interested in a coffee/pastry break we can stop at the Grand Central Bakery in Burien. Otherwise we'll just keep rolling with a couple of pit stops.
