Team Thursday: Wandermere Deer Park Loop Clockwise

Start Time: Meet at 7:45 for 8:00 AM rollout

Meeting Location/Address: Wandermere Starbucks: 12519 N Division Spokane WA 99218

Distance: 38 miles

Pace: 13 – 15 mph on flats

Terrain: Paved roads, mostly rural. Fair amount of climbing in the 3 – 5% range with one short very steep climb. Total elevation gain of approximately 1865 ft.

Route Description: A steep downhill on Mill Rd followed by 5+ miles of steady, not too steep climbing along Dartford, Ballard and Austin. There should be some mountain scenery along the way. We will take lightly travelled Dalton into Deer Park. We’ll stop at mile 18 at the Pickett Fence for a break. The second half of the ride trends mostly downhill with some rollers and the notable exception of the 0.3-mile Chattaroy 12% leg burner. Most of the return will be along Perry and Little Spokane River roads. We’ll catch a tiny bit of the Children of the Sun Trail in the final uphill mile.
