Hills Out Of Auburn: Black Diamond Bakery, Green River Gorge (Brisk)

Let's meet at the Auburn Fred Meyer in the northwest parking lot. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Hills Out Of Auburn (HOOA) We'll be riding into the SE King County Wilderness up Auburn Black Diamond Rd to the famous Black Diamond Bakery for some treats! Then deeper into woods to the Green River Gorge, where we will stop for some pictures. We will make our way back across the Enumclaw Plateau with views expansive pastures, the foothills and Mt. Rainier.  Finally descend down into Green Valley and follow the river through historic farmlands.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we regroup at the end of the hills, otherwise we will pretty much stay together. 

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water and baked treats at Black Diamond Bakery (mile 13.5) Additional bathroom break at Nolte State Park (mile 22). Optional bathroom stops will be at mile posts 31 and 38.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. 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 cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
