Join John Hubble and I for a jaunt of the Eastside backroads. The weather should be awesome and scenery excellent!
This ride is posted at a moderate pace, but we will be faster on the flats and slower on the hills. We will re-group on the bigger hills.
We will be on a tandem, but SINGLE bikes are WELCOME!
Please be prepared with nutrition, hydration (two water bottles), lunch money, a charged cell phone and the route either on your device or printed. Major mechanicals situations will require a way to get back on your own. You should carry tools and be able to fix a flat. Helmet is required.
There are planned rest stops at New Castle Beach Park (16 miles), Safeway in Issaquah (33 miles), Starbucks on Redmond Ridge (49 miles) and Starbucks on Avondale (58 miles).
Please be ready to ride by 8:15 am, so we can discuss riding S.M.A.R.T. and the route. We will roll at 8:30 am sharp. There’s a porta-potty at the start.
Register for the ride by using the red "register now" button. This will save time at the ride start and is most appreciated!
In the event of weather cancellation, it will be post it here, at least 2 hours prior to ride start, and we won’t be at the start.
The link below will provide you with the RWGPS route and cue sheet. If you would like a cue sheet, please print your own, we will not have any at the start.
