We roll at 10:10am
Ride is a loop
Ride length: 15+ miles
C'mon down south and join our ladies* ride (*trans ladies this means you too!) This ride is "no dudes, no e-bikes, no offense". I welcome e-bikes on the many other rides I organize, but they are not a good fit for this ride. We meet at the northern end of the trolley trail at SE 17th Avenue & SE St Andrews Drive, across from the Goodwill Bins and very close to the Springwater Trail - about a half mile from the Orange Line MAX (Johnson Creek/Tacoma stop). We're usually a small group of 4-6-8 riders. Our pace will be approximately 12-14mph, slower if it's super wet or on hillz. Please stay behind (or beside) me so I may set our pace. If even one rider goes off the front, it's contagious and soon we're dropping folks, which is the opposite of what our chill squad is about. Our rest stops will be at parks with bathrooms and water spigots. Bring the snacks you’ll need for the day, along with a spare tube (even if you ride tubeless or don't know how to fix a flat). Let's ride the west riverside loop: 23 miles, 1300' gain, includes a couple of miles on wooded paths https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44932165 If it's rainy, we might opt for a Springwater out & back or our "Aldercrest Classic" (20 miles, 800' gain, all paved) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49133783
