Who's ready for a Foodie Ride with a mid-ride stop for Coffee, then a post-ride Ramen meal?  We will ride on roads, trails, warm up with Coffee at Zola's Cafe, then finish with warm soup at Shibu Ramen after the ride. This will be a leisurely paced group (10-12mph on the flats), and we will make every effort to stay together.  However, all riders are encouraged to have an Orca Card or a pick-up if you can not finish the ride, or for mechanicals that can not be fixed safely.  There is one short little hill, and folks can climb the hill at their own pace, and we will regroup at the top.  You don't need to wear fancy spandex pants, but a helmet and a fun attitude are "Required!"  Also, bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, some food/water and cash for coffee and/or Ramen.  Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Our start location will be at the Cycle Therapy Bike shop parking lot at 105 W Smith St, Kent, WA 98032.  Please do NOT park in the bike shop parking lot.  Rather park in the street parking nearby.  There is plenty of street parking between Cycle Therapy and the Kent Station.  As we will be near Kent Station, bathrooms are located nearby.  Please come early enough (no later than 9:40 a.m.) to ready yourself and your bike and listen to the ride briefing and S.M.A.R.T. safety talk.  We will roll out right at 10:00 am.  You are encouraged to pre-register by clicking the red "Register Now" button above. There is no need to unregister if you decide not to ride. 

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.
