Event by RC Miles and Around the Sound Riders (ASR)
Ambitious Day Ride Around the Sound (ADRATS)
Spring Openers should be shortly after the season starts, not at the end. So, who's with me? It's an easy peasy scenic route and we'll have fuel and a lunch stop (TBD) along the way.MEETING SPOTS
🏍Northpack meet at the Lynnwood Shell Station on 200th and 44th in Lynnwood at 8. KSU@08:30!🏍Southpack or any other riders that don't want to meet up north, we can link up at the Marathon gas station in Tacoma, 4401 6th Ave, Tacoma, WA 98406. 09:30 should be a good meeting time to allow travel for the Northpack from Lynnwood.
My rides are always chill, to accommodate for all caliber of rider experience and skill. Rider safety and awareness is always at the forefront and I'll be conducting a ride meeting at both meeting locations.

MEETING SPOTS (see addresses in Route link):

Subject to change.
Note the final point on Mt. St. Helen's is just a placeholder. We'll see how far up we can go.
Includes an optional backroads route up to Chehalis/Centralia. Review so you'll know the length and times from points/gas/lunch in Castle Rock, etc.This is more of an intermediate ride due to the amount of time going freeway speeds of 60/70, length of the trip and twisties on Mt St. Helens, but you're a newer rider and can handle it - all are welcome.

- International Female Ride Day ~ Ride to the Kangaroo Farm (Men Welcomed)O'Reilly Auto Parts, Redmond, WA
Details from the last time, subject to change - Co-ed this year!
May has been dedicated to honor and celebrate women who ride. In the past we've done this as a women only ride, this year we're making this a CO-ED ride so the men who celebrate women riders are invited to join us! ~Claudette "Diva"https://motoress.com/international-female-ride-day/
This is an All-Levels ride taking us mostly along the backroads. Riders of all levels are encouraged to join, whether it's your first ride with the group or you're a regular. It's a real laid back and casual ride with lots of curves, and I've cushioned the time a bit so we get to the tour on time.
The official start of the ride is in Redmond, but those traveling from the South, North or across the Lake or Sound are welcome to post ride-in meeting places and times. From Redmond we'll take the easy, super fun route to the Kangaroo Farm and have a lunch at the Restaurant at Rhodes River Ranch before the tour.
