A mostly rural birthday ride from Redmond to North Bend. Climbs and descents are at each rider's preferred speed, with regroups as needed. Please arrive 15 minutes early to prep your bike so we can start the safety briefing on time. Bring spare tube, patch kit, pump, tools, and knowledge to handle flats or minor mechanicals, and have a cell phone and plan for rescue in case of bike failure. If roads are wet, bare tires are a safety issue so come with real fenders and a long mudflap in back.

Restrooms and water at the start. We'll have a quick "eat it and beat it" food-water-bathroom stop at QFC in North Bend/Mile 33.2. Restrooms and water are available at Beaver Lake Park/Mile 10; Snoqualmie Falls/Mile 24; the North Bend QFC; and Redmond Ridge Park/Mile 66. There also is a no-water pit toilet at Chinook Bend/Mile 53.

Route map and cue sheet are at the link. If you need a cue sheet, print and bring it with you. Please RSVP by clicking on the red Register Now button at the top of this page.

If weather conditions meet the Showers Cancel criterion on the morning of the ride, I will post a ride-cancelled notice in Comments, below, two hours prior, and not go to the start. If the weather looks iffy, please check here before leaving home.
