Get In Gear Ride #1 (moderate, 25 mi, 1200')

Ride Leader: Laurie Bakke
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13133127

Come join us midweek for some progressively longer rides around Bellevue and Issaquah. We’ll start off with a lot of flat and some mild hills or two. Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the start time to hear the route briefing, safety notes, and sign the waiver form for an on-time departure.

Pace: Riders should be able to sustain 14-16 on the flats. We’ll tackle the hills at our own pace.

Mechanicals: Riders should know how to read a cue sheet, change a flat tire, and have a back up plan if they are unable to finish the ride.

Cue Sheets: Cue sheets will not be provided, so please print your own copy from the route link or download it to your own device.

Equipment: Long fenders are requested if rain is in the forecast. Helmets are required to ride.

Regroup policy: We will regroup at top of hills. Riders unable to stay at the posted pace will be encouraged to complete the ride on their own.

Cancellation Policy: Showers cancel. Ride cancellation will be posted in the comments section in both the Cascade and Meetup postings at least two hours prior to the ride start and ride leaders will not be at the ride start location.

Restrooms: At start. No other planned breaks unless the group needs a quick stop. Please carry enough food and water.
