A Relaxed Coffee Ride - Carnation/Red Barn (Moderate)

Fall is a time for winding up the busy Summer season!  This is a great time for doing some more relaxed and social rides - and as typical of many cycling ride, a mid ride coffee stop is planned.  This ride uses the classic Carnation - Red Barn loop to visit the rural farming parts of our county.   A largely flat route with a few rises just to keep everyone honest!  With the leaves changing colors, this route may have a few "Kodak moments" (this for those who can still remember Kodachrome...)

Route map at the link.  Cue sheet PDF at the attachment.  If you want a cue sheet, please print and bring it along.  

No formal food stop, but we'll take an approx 15-20 min stop at the Carnation Starbucks for relief and refreshment along the way.  Porta-pot at the start although there are facilities in town if you arrive early enough.   I encourage you to patronize a local store if you do use their assistance!.  

Please register for the ride clicking on the red Register Now button at the top of this page, click the waiver release box, complete the Emergency Contact Number, and click on Save.  By doing this you will save time at the ride start.  If you are unable to attend you do not need to "un-register."  

If weather conditions meet the Showers Cancel criteria on the morning of the ride, I will not go to the start.  I will post a ride-cancelled notice in Comments, below, by 10:00 AM.  Please check here before leaving for Carnation
