Eastside Hills rides are challenging, hilly rides intended to help strong riders maintain and improve their fitness. The rides are generally 50 - 60 miles with 3000 - 4000' of climbing, and they follow a variety of routes east of Lake Washington starting from the Kirkland Transit Center. Eastside Hills rides are offered year-round, usually at a Brisk pace but occasionally Vigorous or faster.
With a team of ride leaders, we offer rides all around the Seattle metro area and a variety of challenge levels in the steady-to-moderate, 30-50 mile range. We usually stop for coffee and/or food, either a café or BYO picnic. FRUMPS rides year-round. Come join us, underemployed or not!
