Event has already happened.

Super quiet roads with fantastic views of mountains and the Skykomish River. Start at Wallace Falls state park. Park below near the intersection of May Creek Road and Ley Road and ride up to the parking lot for sign up and use of restrooms. We wish to leave the parking lot open to hikers. We will occasionally regroup at the few turns and top of hills. Index has public restrooms and a general store. I plan to have lunch in Index at The River House on the return from the washout past Index. Please see the link for route and more information.  Also please pre-register for quick checkout.

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
