DETAILS

This is the first in a series of weekend rides designed to help you prepare for the Metric Plus route at this year's Ride Around Clark County event. We're not training on the RACC route itself, but we will build up to similar distance and elevation gain.

This week's route is the shorter version of the Club's popular Salmon Creek to Brush Prairie Friday morning ride! The ride is relatively flat and consists mostly of country roads with minimal traffic. We start from the Salmon Creek Starbucks (NE 139th St & NE 20th Ave), head east toward Brush Prairie, then venture north almost into Battle Ground, before returning to our starting point. The ride is almost completely flat, but there are several short hills.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

REGROUP POINTS

If necessary, we'll stop near the entrance to Prairie Field (StreetView), which is around 13 miles into the ride, to regroup.

RESTOOMS & WATER
There are no easily accessible restrooms or water fountains available on this ride. Plan accordingly!

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 of 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.

NOTES
