Hills between Federal Way and Kent with coffee #2

Join me on hilly ride through Federal Way, Des Moines, Kent and back! We will stop by Kent Station to get a quick bite to eat and or drink!

We will meet at the start of the BPA Trail on 356th street and travel around the edge and middle of the west side of Federal Way. We will tackle some hills close to Redondo and also Des Moines. We will decend from Des Moines into the Kent area and from there we'll go to Kent Station where we will shortly after tackle Reith Road and 1st Ave in Federal Way before ariving back to the start of the BPA trail!  Bathrooms will not be available at the start but will be when arriving at Redondo and Kent Station.

Arrive 20 minutes early so you have time to ready your bike, sign the ride waiver, and listen to the Cascade SMART Safety talk.

If ride is canceled due to weather it will be posted here in comments by 08:00 am and ride leader will not be waiting at the start. Steady rain will cancel the ride.

Come prepared to fix flats and have a plan for dealing with mechanical issues. The group will stop at the top of hills. Depending on the circumstance we might stop if a rider gets a flat and or has mechanical issues so make sure you know the route and or have printed a CUE sheet.
