Season Opener: Annual End Of Winter (EOW) Ride

Winter ends on March 20th so let's celebrate by doing our annual EOW ride (started by Randy the Xman), now in it's 21st year (or 20th, since we missed last year). We have 3 meeting points: 10:30am in Kennydale, ~12pm in Hawk's Prairie, ~1:30pm in Castle Rock. Arrive, gas up and be ready to go. ~Claudette "Diva"

Looks like the weather is nicer for the new date and better chances of dry roads. Event subject to weather, will reschedule if crappy weather.

MEETING SPOTS (see addresses in Route link):
🏍 Kennydale/Renton: KSU (kickstands up) shortly after a pre-ride spiel (which I'll do at each spot for people joining us so we're all on the page).
🏍 Hawk's Prairie: About 12pm we'll stop at exit 111 to pick up Southend riders and gas up.
🏍 Castle Rock: If you want to meet us for lunch/coming up from OR/S WA, we'll be rolling into Peper's 49ER Restaurant exit 49 around 1:30pm. We'll gas up first then head over to the restaurant. KSU around 2:30pm.

ROUTE: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qbyktA8EFuJmGP7CA 4:32 225 miles

Subject to change.

Note the final point on Mt. St. Helen's is just a placeholder. We'll see how far up we can go.
Includes an optional backroads route up to Chehalis/Centralia. Review so you'll know the length and times from points/gas/lunch in Castle Rock, etc.

This is more of an intermediate ride due to the amount of time going freeway speeds of 60/70, length of the trip and twisties on Mt St. Helens, but if you're a newer rider and can handle it - all are welcome.

Welcome to this post in other groups - the more the merrier!
