Tuesday Night Grand Ridge Hot Lap

AQI Update: I will ride unless AQI on Purple Air is purple or above.  We raced in red AQI last year.  Make a safe decision for yourself.  I will update here by 12pm if the ride is cancelled.  All are welcome - this is a go-your-own-pace.  E-bikes welcome.  The only difference from our previous Tuesday rides is that it's faster, and we will not be regrouping until we're back on the Preston trail at the end of the ride.  With cyclocross season, colder weather, and rain approaching, this will be a non-stop ride (calling it a "drop" ride just seems mean).  We will start in the Sunset parking lot and roll at a social pace until we hit the bottom of the trail.  Quick instructions will be given, and then we will go.  Practice passing and getting passed (I'll remind you of trail and race etiquette).  Regrouping won't happen until we are back on that Preston trail. *please note that we will wait a few minutes at the bottom of the trail but slower riders may be on their own back to the lot.

Meeting at the East Sunset Way parking lot in Issaquah and heading up Coal Mine trailhead (first entrance of Grand Ridge trail), adding lower section (not most direct) Tower Loop clockwise, and down East Fork.  Location: Parking lot-661-831 E Sunset Way, Issaquah, WA 98027).  Leaving prompty at 6pm.  Please arrive a few minutes early to gear-up and meet/greet.  Everyone welcome! Please RSVP so I know to check the parking lot before we roll. 

I will try to post the Strava route on both: PNW Brew Crew and PNW Mountain Bike
