DETAILS

The route is a VBC classic! The purpose of the ride is to build endurance and practice of applying constant pressure on the pedals and be in mostly Z2, sometimes Z3. There are a few punchy hills where we might be in Z4/Z5 but the idea is not going to the red completely, we'll be back in Z2 after the climbs, no coasting on this ride. Expect to average around 20mph. If you'd like to do sprints or go for KOMs, please go ahead and don't hold back but I'll be keeping the constant pace. This won't be a "surgy" or race pace ride, there is the Flogging ride series by Dialed Cycling for that purpose on Thursdays which I highly recommend.
There is no re-grouping on the top of the climbs. We'll do a brief stop at Battle Ground Skate part.

We'll be departing from the old Albertson's (north of Padden) at 137th Ave., heading north to Battle Ground Lake and return.

If the roads are wet, please bring full fenders with flap at the rear. If you don't have fenders or don't care for them, that's ok but you might be asked to ride in the back if there is a chance of road spray.
