EARTHDREAM Rides The Snoqualmie River Valley

EAstside Ride The Hill DREAM rides are focused on helping strong riders get stronger by training on challenging hills. You can ride the hills at your own pace; we will regroup at the top. EARTHDREAM rides emphasize teamwork and cooperative riding in a way that is fun and encourages each rider to develop their cycling skills.  Our pace tends to be consistent especially on hills where the climbs are fast and strong.  Riders who struggle to maintain a vigorous pace may find it challenging to stay with the group.  We will attempt to accommodate people with a range of abilities, but riders who are significantly off the group pace should come prepared to finish the ride on their own if necessary.

This week's ride takes us out to the Snoqualmie River Valley where we get to ride some pleasant country roads.  The route has some extended flat sections that should allow us to stretch our legs but also has some challenging hills.  We will plan one stop on this ride at the Starbucks in Carnation.

The starting location is at Woodinville Sports Fields.  There are heated restrooms and free parking.
