Welcome to the third South End Winter Hills Training Ride of 2020. Each week the rides get progressively more challenging. See the route link below for the specific details of this ride.
Registration: Please register for this ride in advance by clicking on the red "Register Now" button at the top of this page. Online registrations are accepted until 7:00 am on the morning of the ride. After that, riders must register at the ride start. In addition, those who register in advance, please check in at the ride start to verify attendance.
Ride Start Details: Ride will start promptly at 9:30 am. Please arrive early enough to set up, check in and/or sign the ride waiver, and participate in the ride overview and Cascade SMART talk. If you are a new rider to Cascade Free Group Rides, we welcome you! Please be sure to go to the Cascade Bicycle Newcomers page to read important information.
Ride Requirements: If desired, please print off and bring cue sheet. We will NOT have copies at the start. Please be knowledgeable and equipped with tubes, pump, etc to handle flats or minor mechanicals. Depending on the size of the group, we may not always be able to stop for mechanicals. If roads are wet, bikes without FULL rear fenders & mud flaps are a safety issue for other riders. You will be asked to ride at the rear of the group if conditions warrant and you are not properly equipped.
Regroups: We regroup at the top of major hills and at major turns for a reasonable amount of time. This is a training ride so we will ride with the best interest of the group in mind. You should be prepared with a cue sheet or other device to navigate back to the start should you be unable to continue.
Cancellation: Steady rain (or unsafe conditions such as ice, snow or high winds) will cancel this ride. In the event of a cancellation, a notice will be posted at least two hours prior in the comments section below, and the ride leader will be at the start. Please check here before going to the ride start.
A good headlight and taillight are recommended. Helmets are required to ride.
