Event has already happened.

I created this fun ride with two gradual climbs just for you.  We'll head out of the park & ride towards Bellevue and make our way to Kirkland for our first gradual 2 mile climb.  Then we have a flat stretch as we ride to north Kirkland and catch the trail near 60 Acres Park.  We'll will then ride the trail to Redmond Town Center for a stop at Starbucks for a bite to eat and a cup of Joe before heading around the lake, through Issaquah and another 2 mile gradual climb towards beautiful May Valley Road.  
Please be at the ride start at least 15 minutes ahead of time.  If wet weather, fenders would be appreciated.  Ride leader mentoring opportunity available.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Some Hills

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
