Start at 10 AM from the Starbuck's at 14100 NE 20th Avenue in Salmon Creek (same start location as Friday ride).Ride length will be approximately 29 miles rolling out to 319th Street (LaCenter I-5 exit), traveling on a few new roads, and some already known. Quick regroup @ sculpture garden on NW 11th Avenue.
Regroup in Ridgefield downtown. Then back towards Salmon Creek via NW Carty, 259th Street, and almost the entire length of NE 29th Ave, with a wonderful hill climb up Mt. Vista, adjacent to WSU campus, and a fast coast downhill to coffee.

Route Information
#0 - West Side RollersDo you like a few hills, some leg-stretcher straight-aways and great rollers? Try this route. Then back towards Salmon Creek via Hillhurst (yes, 'hill' is part of the name), Carty, 259th St, and almost the entire length of NE 29th Ave, with a wonderful hill climb up Mt. Vista, adjacent to WSU campus, and a fast coast downhill to coffee. If "wonderful" is not exactly the word you'd use to describe the Mt. Vista climb, you can use the bypass option. See the map and cue link for details.
