Ron Regis Park to Green River Gorge (Steady)

Let's meet at the Ron Regis Park in Renton. 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.

Come join us on a 47-mile scenic ride from Ron Regis Park in Renton to Green River Gorge. We'll ride along the Cedar River trail, Lake Francis Rd to Ravensdale Park and onto Cumberland and Green River Gorge.  We will loop back through Black Diamond, Lake Wilderness and Witte Road.  The first 24 miles are gradually uphill with some long climbs and the last 23 miles are mostly downhill.  We'll ride at about 12 to 13 mph on the flats when there is no wind.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace and we will regroup frequently.  The ride will take about 4.5 hours including the 20-minute coffee break. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Porta-potties are available at the start but no water.  We’ll have a brief restroom stop at Ravensdale Park (mile 15.5) and we'll also stop for coffee/snacks at Ristretto's Coffee at mile 35.

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!
