Event has already happened.

The forecast says sunny and temperature in the upper 60's!  

A new twist on an old standby.  This is one of the nicest rides in the area.  We will start out at Old Renton City Hall and ride up the Cedar River Trail on our way to the Black Diamond Bakery.  After a break at the bakery, we'll head back via the beautiful via Kent-Black Diamond Road and Soos Creek Trail on our way back to Renton.  This is a fun, social ride.  

In case of cancellation due to bad weather, the ride leader will not be at the start.  Cancellation will be posted here at least 2 hours prior to the ride time.  If wet weather, please have fenders on your bike.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Rolling

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
