Kent Des Moines Sumner Loop Version 1 (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Kent/James St Park & Ride (902 W James St Kent, WA 98032) 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. The pace of this ride is based on having no wind and being on a flat road. If there is a headwind or a hill, the pace will be lower, if we have a tailwind or downhill, the pace may be higher. Due to the number of similar routes, I ride, version numbers are used, and differing versions of the same ride may have very different elevation profiles. Keep this in mind when deciding to do this ride.

 This ride is like the Cascade Training Series “Two Points and a Levee” ride but with a little more “Spice”.

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 such as a Zombie Apocalypse, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is canceled at least two hours before the start, the Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride. Mentoring available for prospective Ride Leaders with advance notice.

We hope you can join us!
