Start off of Highway 18 at the Auburn-Black Diamond Road park and ride.  Ride on mostly flat rural SE Green Valley road to Flaming Geyser State Park for sack lunch and then return.  We will stop at the Green Valley Meats.  Cantebury Gift Shop that sells blueberries later in the season may also be open.  Bathrooms and water available at the park.

No bathrooms at the start.  Come 15 minutes early for the safety briefing and be ready to start riding at 10:30am.  Allow time for travel to the start of the trip.  Bring water, sack lunch, extra tire tube and bike tools.  If it is raining heavy I will post a cancellation 2 hours ahead of time.  If questions call Barbara Van Droof at 206-295-0774 or Bill Van Horn at 206-367-1809

Pace
Leisurely: [10-12mph]

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
Mostly Flat

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
