Fall Cycling #11 (Moderate)

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.
