Terrain:
Moderate
Elevation Gain:

Pace:
14 with friendly stops - I am probably overly hopeful about my ability to lead this ride at 14, however, I'm good on the downhills! Wait for me on the uphills, ok?
Ride Type:
Re-group: you should be able to ride 14mph on the flats, but we will re-group when hills separate us. There's only a couple of hilly sections.
Weather Cancels?
Supposed to be chilly, but not too windy. No cancellations.
Description:
NOTE THE START: Safeway 63rd St and Andresen and the TIME: NOON. We ride the whoop-de-doos on the Padden path and then some hills and pleasant leg-stretcher rural roads toward Hockinson before heading south on the old North Ride route. Stop at on of the Hockinson Markets about mile 15. Back before dark!
