Description:
One of these days, folks, this rain will cease and we'll try some coffee or pizza routes across the river. But until then, let's keep the legs moving on this social but steady ride. We take the RACC route to cross 164th Ave getting the blood pumping and showing off our stop-sign observance skills to cars. Then we find streets that have relatively few stop signs and enjoy swooping through the neighborhoods including the lovely downhill on Baypoint - no stop signs! We take Blairmont back up but it is gentle. One more hill towards the end when we climb Buena Vista from Andresen. We ride together or re-group.
Registration:
Registration is not required. You don't have to be a member to try us out but we'd ask that you join if you're riding with us consistently.

Helmets are required. Lights (front and rear), Road IDs, cell phones, tool kit, mirrors, and pump are recommended. Check your bike and gear before you come to make sure it's in good working order. Seriously.
