FRUMPS: Redmond to Remlinger Farms

This is a relaxed, social ride, mostly on relatively quiet rural roads. Pace will be Moderate (14-16 MPH) on the flats and self-paced on climbs and descents, with regroups at the tops of the more challenging climbs. There are portable toilets at the start and we’ll have a short restroom break at Mile 10. Lunch will be at Remlinger Farms (Mile 22) and we’ll have a restroom break at Beaver Lk. Park (Mile 35). You can expect a significant climb beginning about Mile 29. Our regroup for this climb will be at Duthie Hill Parking Lot (Mile 32). Meet in Redmond at the East Lake Sammamish Trail parking lot (near Whole Foods).

Please register for the ride by clicking on the "Register Now" button under the ride title above. This will save us time at the start. If you are unable to attend you do not need to "un-register." Please arrive early enough at the starting point to prepare yourself for the ride and to listen to the S.M.A.R.T. safety briefing prior to the published departure time. Bring water, snacks, spare tube, tools, patch kit, and skills to fix flats; and have a phone and a plan for rescue if your bike fails. We will try to wait for mechanical breakdowns but may not be able to wait for everything. Make sure you know the way back to the starting point in case you get separated from the group.

See the URL below -- you can print the map-cue sheet and/or load it onto your GPS device. If roads are wet, rooster tails from bare tires are a safety issue for other riders. If there’s a chance of rain, please bring fenders with long mud flaps. If you are new to Cascade rides please read the “Welcome newcomers” information at http://www.cascade.org/grouprides ).
