Thursday Night Grand Ridge Ride
Join us for our weekly "fast" ride. The route takes us about 1.5 hours, most are good climbers and all can ride for 1.5 hours without breaks. With weather challenges, ride will be cancelled due to anything dangerous, though we ride mostly through anything other than ice and lightening. We will regroup at the top of hills occasionally. If you're new, please give me your contact info at beginning of ride so I can be sure you make it back safely! RSVPs help me plan, but most of our regulars don't RSVP since I have their contacts, so don't be discouraged by low sign-up #s.
Plan is to warm-up from Sunset parking lot to start of the trail. Once we hit the bottom of the trail, regroup, review route, then go. Doesn't matter what order we start, can practice passing and getting passed. Some may be left behind if it's too cold to wait for long. Questions? Hit me up. Meeting at the East Sunset Way parking lot in Issaquah and heading up Coal Mine trailhead west (first entrance of Grand Ridge trail), adding lower section (not most direct) Tower Loop clockwise, Spruce Coaster, Grand Ridge, and down East Fork. Location: Parking lot-661-831 E Sunset Way, Issaquah, WA 98027). Leaving promptly at 5:45. Please arrive a few minutes early to gear-up and meet/greet. ALL ARE WELCOME INCLUDING E-BIKES just know this is go-your-own-pace. At times, I may "hot lap" and race people if they're willing.
