A ride out of Marymoor over the Sammamish Plateau to the Snoqualmie Valley and back via Union Hill and Redmond Ridge. Two-and-a half good climbs, two fast descents, assorted rollers, and the long flat run through the fields and along the river from Fall City to Ames Lake Road.
Route map at the link. Cue sheet PDF at the attachment. If you want a cue sheet, please print it from the attachment.
No formal food stop, but we'll pause at the Carnation Starbucks for relief and refreshment along the way. Porta-pot at the start.
If weather conditions meet the Showers Cancel criteria on the morning of the ride, I will not go to the start. I will post a ride-cancelled notice in Comments, below, by 7:30 AM. Please check here before leaving for Marymoor.
Comments
Flooding
We can't do the planned route because the best and safest bike route between Fall City and Carnation, and beyond, is closed due to high water. The weather for ride time looks promising as of now, although the forecast could change back and forth twice by ride time. Anyhow, here's an alternate route that should work: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11437156
NOTE: If you download this new route and/or print the cue sheet, please be aware that I cannot bring RWGPS to heel as regards getting up the trail along Highlands Drive from Sunset in Issaquah to the top of the hill. The RWGPS red line goes up the roadway. We will not. So be prepared for your Garmin to tell you you're off the route during that climb.
