Join me as we hit the Issaquah Plateau and points east. Let's meet at the Tibbetts Valley Park (west lot) in Issaquah. Be there, ready to go at 9:30 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.

We'll roll out through downtown Issaquah, then climb up into the Issaquah Highlands neighborhood. We'll climb up to Village Green via Park Drive, then down to Black Nugget Road and north into Klahanie, to our first rest stop at Beaver Lake. From there, we'll head east via Issaquah Fall City Road to our lunch stop at Aroma Coffee in Fall City. The Preston Snoqualmie Trail will take us out of the Snoqualmie Valley up to Preston, then High Point Way delivers us to the Issaquah Preston gravel trail, a pleasant forested descent into Issaquah and back to our start point.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup at the top of hills and major turns if not together. 

Restrooms are available at the start, and we'll make planned stops at Beaver Lake Park (mile 12.5) and Preston Park (mile 26.7)

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!

What to Know Before You Go

  • Advance registration required. Cancel if unable to attend, to open space for others.
  • Must be present at safety briefing to participate.
  • Helmets required.
  • Riders under 18 years old require parental consent & approval from the Ride Leader.
Distance
35 mi.
Elevation Gain
2,121 ft.
Pace
Steady: [12-14mph]

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.

Terrain
Hilly

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
