This 52-mile ride has a little bit of everything, leaving Auburn we have a flat 11 mile warm up before tackling the hardest climb of the day. 212th is a 1-mile long hill with parts having a 13% grade (per RWGPS), then its ride around the Enumclaw farmland before dropping down to the Green River Gorge. From there we climb up to the Black Diamond bakery for our food stop before rolling back to Auburn.

Restrooms: At the start (Wal-Mart), mile 11.5 near Flaming Geyser Park, 23.1 Porta-Potty, and mile 37 Black Diamond Bakery.

Food stop: mile 37 Black Diamond Bakery
