TREATS - Red Barn Loop with Bonus Hill (Steady)

This is a gentle out-and-back ride in the Snoqualmie Valley with an option for refreshment at Sandy's or Starbucks in Carnation on the way back. We have added one bonus hill climb on our way out of Fall City.  The group may vote to skip that climb. 

There is a Porta-potty near the start. There is a restroom at Chinook Bend and also at the snack stop in Carnation. 

Directions to the start: From Seattle take I-90 to Exit 22 for Preston. Turn left at the top of the ramp, then right at the next intersection. Continue to Fall City. Bear right at the T in Fall City to cross the Snoqualmie River. Go around the traffic circle onto northbound State Route 203 toward Duvall and Monroe. Make an immediate left onto Neal Road, across from the Fall City Bistro, and into the gravel lot at Fall City Community Park.
