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.
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 but no water at the start. We'll stop at Ravensdale Park (Mile 16) for water and restrooms and again at the Black Diamond Bakery (Mile 31) for restrooms and coffee/treats as desired. We will not be at the Bakery long enough for a sit-down lunch in the dining room.
Please be ready to ride by 15 minutes before start time so we can do the safety briefing and get on the road. Route map and cue sheet are at the Link, below. If you want a cue sheet, please print it. Bring spare tube, tools, patch kit, pump, and skills to fix flats, and have a phone and a plan for rescue if your bike fails. If roads are wet, roostertails from bare tires are a safety issue for other riders. Fenders with long mudflaps show that you care.
Please sign up for the ride by clicking the red Register Now button.
The listed phone number won't be answered on the morning of the ride. If the weather meets the showers-cancel threshold, I will post a cancellation notice in the Comments block below at least two hours prior and not go to the start. Please check here before leaving for the ride.
