Half Caff - Hills Out of Auburn! (Vigorous)

Let's meet at the Auburn Fred Meyer in the northwest parking lot at 6:00 pm. Come early if you need to buy something or use the bathroom. 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!, We ride hills out of Auburn at a vigorous pace. Wednesdays are Short High Intense Training rides with plenty of opportunity to cook up some lactic acid and burn in it. We attack hills, rollers, and coveted segments...and descend hills like we stole the bike we're sitting on. This ride starts with a long flat warm-up before we climb to Lake Tapps and Bonney Lake neighborhoods where we will find as many rollers as possible before sunset. We will throw our bikes into "Full Send" mode and regroup occasionally to SEND-IT again. 

Caffeinate yourself before the ride, because there are no coffee stops.  We'll stop one time at Allen York Park to tinkle and choke down snack (mile 11)

We plan on being back well before sunset, but bring lights just in case

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: Regardless of weather, we're riding. If there are unforeseen hazards or other unexpected events, we will reroute and ride on. If the ride is cancelled at least 2 hours before the ride, we will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

This is Short High Intensity Training you've been waiting for. HOOA!
