Let's meet at the Auburn Fred Meyer in the northwest parking Lot. Be there ready to roll at 10:00am. Come early if you need to use the restroom or buy water and snacks. 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! Hills Out Of Auburn takes us into the SE King County Wilderness for 3 unique loops, The Triple Nugget. It starts out with a long gentle climb into Black Diamond (front half of the final loop). Then our 1st full loop is "Kelly Latte's"—a fast 10.5 miles that includes Lake Sawyer and views alongside Lake Morton. Then take a quick bathroom break at 10 Trails Park (MILE 23)
The next loop takes us up and into the Green River Gorge, a one-way bridge suspended hundreds of feet above the river. And then we head super deep into the trees through Cumberland, Kanaskat, and Ravensdale. By now, we'll have worked up an appetite, so we'll stop at the Black Diamond Bakery for water, pastries and the bathroom (MILE 47)
Then it's all downhill from here! (That's what the ride leader said) We drop down from the old town of Kummer into Green Valley to complete the back half of our final loop. The Green Valley is long flat meandering road alongside the river through pastures and farmlands.
We are a vigorous group, 18-20 on flats. However, we climb and descend hills at our own pace, and then regroup.
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 it's raining, we will cancel the ride. If there are unforeseen hazardous conditions or other unexpected events, we will reroute in real time. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check your email before leaving for the ride.
Come join us on the Triple Nugget, HOOA!
