Fall City to Rattlesnake Lake (Gravel)

Join us for a ride from Fall City, WA on a 36.2 mile route at Steady 12-14 mph pace!  

This trail is well packed gravel and appropriate for road bikes with 30cm+ tires, gravel and mountain bikes.  The pace will be adjusted for gravel riding and elevation. This is an out and back ride.  There is not a food stop but we will take 15-20 minute breaks at Centennial Fields Park in Snoqualmie and again at Rattlesnake Lake.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup occasionally. 

Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the ride start to ready your bike and hear the safety briefing.  

A porta-potty is available at the start. We will stop at Centennial Fields Park for restrooms/water at miles 8.8 and return at 27.7. 

My pace will be ~12 mph on the gentle grade and ~8 mph the last 5 miles to Rattlesnake Lake, where the grade increases. On the return, the route is mostly downhill such that we can go faster. For more details as to the route and grades, see the below link to the ridewithgps route. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the gravel or road is wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, 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.

The club has issued guidelines related to COVID-19 at the link above. Please do not plan to ride if you have a fever, cough, difficulty breathing or other cold or flu-like symptoms, or have other risk factors.

There is limited opportunities for hand washing on the route. I would highly recommend all riders carry hand sanitizer or wipes at all times and use as appropriate.  Thanks for your cooperation.

We hope you can join us!
