Hills Out Of Auburn: Green Valley, Green River Gorge, Lake Morton (Brisk)

Let's meet at the Auburn Fred Meyer Northwest Parking Lot. Be there, ready to go at 10:00AM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

HOOA! Looks like a nice day to get out of the city and explore SE King County wilderness. We start out with a long warm up through Green Valley, a meandering ride through farms and pastures along the river. Then our first significant climb into Enumclaw. If we're lucky, we will be rewarded with views of Mt. Rainier in the backdrop of vast meadows and farmlands.  From, here we make out way to Green River Gorge, a 400 ft deep carved out chasm. Then our 2nd big climb of the day on the way to Black Diamond Bakery, YUM! Then to Lake Morton, followed by the Lake Holmes rollers before drop back down to Auburn,

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and regroup. Otherwise we stay together.

Restrooms snacks and water are available at the start.
