Join us for a ride from Renton to Maple Valley and back on a 43 mile route at Moderate Pace.This ride includes a great climb up and down Tiger Mountain (north to south) with a couple of additional minor climbs. We will climb and descend hills at our own pace and regroup at the top and bottom of these hills. Restrooms  are not available at the start. An optional restroom stop is available at Ron Regis park at mile 3 and Ristrettos at the half way refreshment stop.

Pace is moderate, i.e., 14-16 mph on the flats with no head wind. We will occasionally go faster on slight downhill grades based on the group. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

Let's meet at the Old Renton City Hall parking lot and please be ready to ride at 9:00 a.m. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are 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.

We hope you can join us!
