Event has already happened.

Summer must be coming, because MUMPS is heading north again!

Note that the pace of the ride is Brisk instead of the usual Vigorous.  The ride leader is recovering from a foot injury.

This Brisk ride heads north from Log Boom Park into Snohomish county, with a lunch stop en route. Route may be shortened if weather is bad. Ride leader will make the route available on ridewithgps.com by late afternoon of the day before the ride, search for "MUMPS 2016MMDD", where MMDD are the month and date of the ride (Mar 14 would be MUMPS 20160314). Since the rwgps search function can take hours to reflect a new public route, it is better to check comments here (on cascade.org) for a link to the route. If in doubt, check here for cancellation due to weather on the morning of the ride.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Hilly

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
