Midweek South End Evening Rides (33 miles, 362 Elev) Steady, Moderate&Brisk

Are you looking for a mid-week ride to help keep your legs fresh between those long weekend rides? Then come and join us this Wednesday on our south end mid-week ride. This week it will be a flat course up and down the Auburn Kent valley! Also, the weather is getting nicer and our daylight is getting longer. This is the time of year to get outside and enjoy the sun and warm spring weather. And ride with fellow enthusiastic cyclists like yourself! So please come and ride with us!

This Wednesday we will start from the north end of the theater parking lot of the Outlet Collection Mall in Auburn and head north on the Interurban Trail for 5 miles before turning onto Frager Road, a very low traffic back road that follows the curves of the winding Green River. Near Van Doren’s Landing Park we will cross the river and jump onto the Green River Trail and follow it up and around Tukwila where we will jump back onto the Interurban Trail. We'll continue on the Interurban for 3 miles and then take 196th back to the Green River Trail and head south back to where we began.

We will pass by Three Friends Fishing Hole twice, at mile 12 and again at mile 20. If you need water or a bathroom break I will ask and we can stop.

Arrive at least 30 minutes early so that you can get yourself ready, sign the waiver, and listen to the S.M.A.R.T. briefing. This allows us to have an on-time departure.

Be considerate and have full fenders including mud flaps if roads are wet or a prediction of rain is in the forecast, or ride in the back.

A route map and cue sheet are at the Ride With GPS link, below. If you want a cue sheet please print and bring it. The ride leader will not have extra copies.

Cancellation Policy: If needed, a weather cancellation will be posted two hours prior in the Comments section, below, and the ride leader will not be at the start. Please check here or on the Cascade site before leaving for the ride.

Ride Leader Mentoring is available, contact the Ride Leader prior to the ride.
