A scenic rural ramble starting from Ron Regis Park, just east of Renton.  We'll ride through Ravensdale, Cumberland, Black Diamond, and Maple Valley, including a crossing of the Green River Gorge.  Mostly rolling terrain with a few climbs.  

A RideWithGPS route map is at the link.  

Directions to the start:  From I-405 and/or Bronson Way in Renton, take State Route 169 (the Maple Valley Highway) three miles to the traffic light at 149th Avenue SE and turn left, then take the next left into Ron Regis Park.

There are porta-pots at the start.  We'll stop at Ravensdale Park (Mile 16) for water and bathrooms and again at the Black Diamond Bakery (Mile 31) for bathrooms and coffee/treats as desired.  We will not be at the Bakery long enough for a sit-down lunch in the dining room, so bring enough food for the ride.  

Please RSVP by clicking the red Register Now button at the top of this page and then checking the waiver button, filling in the contact information, and clicking on Save.  Note that the on-line RSVP requires a Cascade Bicycle Club account, which is easy to set up, but if you don't want one of those just come anyway and sign the hard-copy attendance sheet. 

The listed phone number won't be answered on the morning of the ride.  In event of showers, I will not be at the ride start.  If the weather meets the showers-cancel threshold, I will post a cancellation notice in the Comments block below by 7:00 AM.  If it's wet or looking wet on ride day, please check here before going to the start.
