Midweek South End Evening Rides (24 miles, 713 Elev) Steady & Moderate

Mentored ride for Marlene Puratich

Pace: Steady & Moderate

This Wednesday: We will head north on the Interurban Trail, then east on Main Street through Auburn and on GreenValley for greener pastures, before heading up our only major climb, 218th. After re-grouping at the top, we do some rolling hills as we work our way down the Kent-Black Diamond Road and back to the start.

Please sign the E-waiver by clicking on the link below, it will take you to the Cascade site, create a free account, answer a few questions and save.
Online registration closes two hours prior to ride time, and if you decide to ride after that we will have a waiver sheet for you to sign manually. Registration is not mandatory, but it allows us to print the rider list beforehand and helps us save time at the ride start

If you are a new rider, we are very happy to have you with us. Please read the New Rider link, below, and keep in mind that a helmet is required on all Cascade rides. Also, riders should be able to sustain the pace, carry nutrition/water, and have the know-how and equipment to fix a flat tire. Everyone should carry a phone to call for assistance if needed. We will regroup after climbs and at major intersections.

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.
