EARTHDREAM Get Stronger Ride #11

Date: Saturday 5/28/2016

Time: 8:00 AM

If the roads are wet or rain is threatened we may slow the pace down to accommodate people with heavier rain bikes.

Regroup: At the top of all hills, and at major turns. An effort will be made to accommodate people with a range of abilities, but riders who are significantly off the group pace should come prepared to finish the ride on their own.

Weather Cancels:
Showers cancel. Check this website for weather updates if the weather looks iffy. Please bring fenders if the roads are wet.

Ride Description:
EAstside Ride The Hill DREAM rides are focused on developing stronger riders by training on hills or using intervals (or both :). Because the weather is so changeable I am posting a fair-weather route and a rainy-weather route. Both routes are about 100 miles long with 5000 ft of elevation gain. The fair-weather route takes us down to Ravensdale, Black Diamond, the Green River Gorge and end up with a loop around Mercer Island. The rainy-weather route stays closer to the start and has a similar distance and elevation gain.

Here is the fair-weather route:
