Come join me for a fun ride in the crisp fall air! Fall Cycling is a progressive hill training series, mileage and elevation increase in distance, feet, and grade each week. This weeks ride will be the last moderate paced ride offered in the Fall Cycling Series for 2016.
Ride Start Details: The ride will start promptly at 9:30 a.m. at the Old Renton Courthouse in downtown Renton, next to the Renton Library. The pace is Moderate, 14-16 mph on flat roads with no headwinds. Hills are self paced. We regroup at the top of hills and at major turns for a reasonable amount of time.
Restrooms at start. Please arrive early enough to set up, check in and/or sign the ride waiver, hear the route details, and review Cascade riding S.M.A.R.T.

Something to Look Forward to on the Break!
Option A: if colder temperatures, ice on Saturday
If the temperatures dip down low Friday night into Saturday morning, and there is the risk of ice at higher elevations in Newcastle, here is an alternate route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/1..., 34 miles / 2013 feet, and still a stop at Chucks Donuts.
I will post an update Friday night or early Saturday morning. Looking forward to a fun ride!
Update to Route
Hey Riders,
Despite the very cold conditions, I am still planning on riding Saturday! However, due to the possibility of ice at higher elevations and de-icer on the roadways, I updated the route, it is a reduction in mileage and elevation, but we are still stopping at Chuck's and we will have a great ride. Please be sure to download this newest route and updated cue sheet, and please check back prior to the ride in the event of any other updates I may post.
Thank you!

nice post
It was so glad to see the details regarding the ride you have shared Best Car Sharing Service here. Now authorities only prefer a limited number of people for the ride. Good to see the details shared over here and one who wishes to participate in the ride can join share details soon here.
