Friday Night CHASE - Tukwila, (Brisk 20-25 mi)

Come and join me for a Friday Night CHASE (Climbing Hills Around the South End).

We will meet at the North Overflow Lot (Lot G) of the Tukwila Link Light Rail Station (TLRS). The North overflow lot is located across Southcenter Blvd from the main terminal. Please arrive with enough time to ready your gear, sign the ride waiver, and listen to the pre ride briefing.

This weeks route: TLRS - Burien-Normandy Park-Des Moines (http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3536336) is 22.4 miles and 2160' in elevation (http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3536336/elevation_profile) gain.

Cue sheets will be available at the start.

This will be a BRISK (http://www.cascade.org/EandR/Ride_Classifications.cfm) paced ride (16-18 mph on the flats). Faster riders are welcome to climb at their own pace and we will regroup at the top of the hills.

Lights are absolutely required to participate in this ride and fenders will be appreciated. If the roads are wet and your bike is not equipped with fenders, you will be asked to ride at the rear to prevent spraying others.

There will be no cancellation due to rain.

Please have a spare tube and/or patch kit and the necessary tools and knowledge to change a flat and handle minor mechanical issues.
