Ride of the Week: Retreat to the Countryside

By Sandy Smith, guest blogger

Two opportunities in one weekend await you to enjoy the refreshing views as you roll through the Fall City countryside with Kathleen.

Join her on Saturday, Aug. 18  for a 55-mile moderately paced ride (14-16mph) from Fall City to Monroe and back past the flower farms.

Bring along two water bottles and some food for the stop at a park along the Snoqualmie River.  There will also be opportunities to purchase snacks.

If that ride whetted your taste for more, the following day there will be a 30-mile ride at the same pace through the Carnation farmlands.  The route will loop around the red barn and make a stop at Starbucks to reenergize,  before the return ride.

Both rides are fairly flat.  Bring a camera along, you’ll want to savor the scenery again later!
