EARTHDREAM Rides Big Hills

EAstside Ride The Hill DREAM rides are focused on developing stronger riders by training on hills or using intervals (or both :). You can ride the hills at your own pace; we will regroup at the top. EARTHDREAM rides emphasize teamwork and cooperative riding in a way that is fun and encourages each rider to develop their cycling skills.

This ride is intended as a training ride for people planning on very hilly the Chelan Century, RAMROD, the High Pass Challenge, or Passport 2 Pain. The route includes four category 3 hills - Novelty Hill, Squak Mountain, Cougar Mountain, and Somerset as well as numerous category 4 hills.

The starting location is at the Sixty Acres Park in the small parking lot on the south side of the road. There is a restroom and running water at the start. We are planning on stops at a Safeway in Issaquah, and a QFC on Coal Creek Parkway.

The EARTHDREAM group generally rides at the high-end of the vigorous range. Our routes tend to include a lot of hills.  Riders who struggle to maintain a vigorous pace may find it challenging to stay with the group.  We will attempt to accommodate people with a range of abilities, but riders who are significantly off the group pace should come prepared to finish the ride on their own if necessary.

If you click the "Register Now" button on this page it saves you from having to sign in at the start of the ride.  Also, it gives me an idea of how many people to expect.
