| Ride Description: |
| The tenth (and final!) ride of the CHEW Series (see below for series description) will be held on March 24, 2013 starting at 0930 from South Bellevue Park-n-Ride (http://goo.gl/maps/YlP4X). This ride route is about 50 miles long and has circa 4300 feet of elevation. We will leave the starting point to go through southeast Bellevue, climb up Cougar Mountain, traversing Newcastle streets, then East Renton Highlands, and a meander through May Creek Park area and Newport Hills. This will be the posting for the Brisk paced ride (16-18 mph on the flats). Updates for the ride will be posted on the Cascade Free Daily Ride on the Meetup.com site at http://www.meetup.com/cascaderides/events/97398612/
Climbing Hills – Eastside Wintertime – The CHEW Series will be held Sundays at 0930 on Jan 13, 20, 27, Feb 3, 10, 17, March 3, March 10, March 17, and March 24 at various starting points on the East Side. These will be climbing routes on local hills which will progress from circa 30 miles and 2500 feet of elevation to 50+ miles and 4500 feet of elevation. There will be three paces offered for riders – Brisk (16-18 mph on flats); Moderate (14-16 mph on flats); and Steady (12-14 mph on flats) which will all use a common course for that week.
Riders should be able to sustain the appropriate pace for their selected group, read a cue sheet, change a flat (and have the requisite equipment), and have a positive attitude! Faster riders and better climbers are welcome to join but for them the ride becomes self-paced and self-guided. Riders can ride on their own, in small groups, or with the appropriate pace ride leader. Cue sheets will be available at the start and riders can email the Ride Leader by the preceding Friday noon for the final route cue sheet pdf and map url. Rest Stops will be planned as noted on the Route Cue Sheet.
