NEW TIME: RACC Metric Training: Climb Primer / 14-16mph / 2200+' / 32 mi / RL Scott Storkel / 8:30AM

Length: 32 miles
Pace: 14-16 mph
Terrain: Moderate
Elevation: 2200+ feet
Ride Type: Non-Group
Cancelation Guidelines: Rain / Temps < 40F / Lightening / Wind > 25 mph

DETAILS

We're dialing back the mileage this week, but upping the elevation gain. RideWithGPS tends to under-estimate the elevation gain for this ride, so make sure your legs are fresh! We depart from the Salmon Creek Starbucks and follow roads used by the Reverse Newliner. We stop at Overlook Park in Ridgefield for a break, then tackle the mile-long climb out of town. From there, we turn south doing our best to climb every ridge in Ridgefield as we wind our way back to the start.


The pace for this ride is 14-16mph on the flats, much slower up the hills. If you're faster or slower than the posted pace, you're on your own! 

REGISTRATION

Registration is required and almost always free to both members and non-members. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to register for this event.

This is a regroup ride, so if you're faster or slower than the ride leader you'll need to know the route! If you have a GPS bike computer (Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, etc) you should download the route to your computer before the ride. 

VBC members get free turn-by-turn directions when using the RideWithGPS app on their smartphone! Find instructions for using RideWithGPS on the Club's Resources page. We also have advice on repurposing an old cellphone to provide GPS Navigation on the Cheap.
