Event has already happened.

This is a lovely ride to Black Diamond on the trail and Auburn/Black Diamond road. We will have a sit down lunch at the Black Diamond Bakery before descending to the Green River Gorge and back via Green Valley Road.

Rain will cancel and I will post the cancellation 2 hrs. before on both meet up and this site.

Ample parking and rest rooms at start.

Please arrive early enough to unload your bike etc. and be prepared to leave at 10am sharp after the SMART briefing.

Come join me for this ride. It is a favorite of mine and I want to do it one last time. Since I have moved to West Seattle, I will be starting most of my rides from Jack Block Park on Alki.

What to Know Before You Go

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
Some Hills

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
