Sumner/Auburn/Kent: A different look (Steady)

Join us for a fun fall ride from the south side of the Sumner Fred Meyer parking lot for a 33-mile route at Steady Pace of 12-14mph! 

Let's meet in the Sumner Fred Meyer parking lot, in the furthest east parking area on your right as you face the main Fred Meyer entrance. Be there, ready to go at 9:00 am. We will start with a required safety briefing and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate. Restrooms are available at the start. We may stop along the way for restroom break at Auburn Outlet Collection Walmart (mile 9), Isaac Evans Park (mile 18.3) and we will also stop for coffee/snacks at Starbucks at mile 22.5 . 

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

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.

This is a mentored ride for Chris Riden, who is in the process of becoming a Cascade Ride Leader. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more about becoming a ride leader (and/or see the linked information).  We hope you can join us!
