Auburn, Lake Morton, and the Black Diamond Bakery (Steady)

Let's meet at the Auburn Walmart parking Lot in the SE corner. 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.

Heading east out of Auburn, we will head up to the small but quiet Lake Morton area. Then we will head toward Lake Sawyer and then to the Black Diamond Bakery. After we have had our fill of wonderful bakery treats, we will head south out of Black Diamond and make our way to the green river valley where we will make our final push back to the Auburn Walmart.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup occassinally. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms ARE available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 11.5. We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Black Diamond Bakery at mile 19.5. 

A working red rear tail light (steady mode preferred) is recommended. 

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 in the Weather Status 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!
