This is a social, relaxed, quite hilly ride through the back roads east of Woodinville and Redmond. The pace will be Moderate on the flats and self-paced on the climbs and descents, with frequent regroups. We will be on hardpacked dirt or gravel paths for very short distances on a few occasions. Meet at the Woodinville Sports Field parking lot near Wilmot Gateway Park. There are restrooms at the start and we’ll be stopping for a refreshment / restroom break at the Redmond Ridge QFC at Mile 23. The ride will start at 10:00 a.m. sharp so please arrive at the starting point early enough to prepare and go through the S.M.A.R.T. safety briefing. Snow, ice, heavy frost, rain, showers, or probable rain will cancel. If in doubt you can check the Comments block of this website or call the leader after 8:00 a.m. day of ride. Please register for the ride by clicking on the red Register Now button at the top of this page. Then put a checkmark in the waiver release box, complete the telephone number boxes, and click on Save. By doing this you will save time at the ride start. Please bring equipment and know-how to handle flats or minor mechanicals. If roads are wet, fenders with long mud flaps are appreciated. Make sure you know the way back in case you get separated from the group. You can print the map/cue sheet (see link below) and/or load it onto your GPS device.

Comments

After pre-riding the route on a cold day it became apparent it is a bit too long and hilly for a relaxed winter ride. Thus we are likely to do a shorter (35 mile) route with less hill climbing. The starting point does not change. We'll have breaks at 15 and 26 miles. Here's the new route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18163203
