Sumner to Auburn: Zola's Cafe for something warm and tasty to eat & drink. (Steady)

Let's meet at the Sumner Fred Meyer located at 1201 Valley Ave, Sumner, WA 98390, in the furthest parking area on the east side of the lot. Be there at 9:00am, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with introductions and a required safety briefing and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Please register for the ride using the red "Register Now" button at the top of this page. You may register with a mobile device at the ride start if you wish and are able to - only riders who have registered on-line before the ride may ride with the group. Please contact the ride leader before the day of the ride if you have difficulties registering on-line or if you have any other questions. 

This will be a relatively flat ride up the Sumner Valley past the Auburn Supermall to Zola's Cafe on Main in Auburn and then back, riding quiet roads through Algona and Pacific to and from Auburn. This is a mentored ride.  Restrooms are available at the start and at Zola's Cafe about ten miles into the ride.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace. Our goal will be to stay together and we will regroup if we get separated. 

All riders should dress appropriately for unpredictable winter weather, carry nutrition and water, carry a phone to call for assistance if needed, as well as cash, and/or a credit card and some form of ID.  

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.

Cue sheets will not be provided. An electronic version of the route, from which riders may print their own cue sheets if desired, is linked below. Route can also be downloaded to navigation devices. 

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancelation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride at least two hours before the ride start time and will not be at the start location. If the ride is canceled, it will be noted in the title on the ride post and registered riders will be sent an email to the address associated with their Cascade account. 

We hope you can join us!
