Meet:  Duvall McCormick Park parking lot in front of Police station.  

9:30 AM for 9:45 AM rollout. 

 *26225 NE Burhen Way, Duvall, WA 98019 *  

Predicted unusual 70 degree summer weather Fall ride with the changing leaves on one of my favorite very Diverse routes through the valley to Snoqualime that includes 15 minute break stops at the Falls and Sno Train Station.  Route is 75% paved but does include about 12 miles of EASY generally downhill gravel terrain on the SVT very rideable on road bikes with good tires.  OPTIONAL:  We will decide as group at start of ride whether to ride SVT into Carnation or use road pavement route.   Restroom facilities available throughout ride. 

NOTE:  ADDITIONAL Start location at NICK LOUTSIS PARK 11 AM in Carnation for less mileage - let me know prior to ride.   Group decides Coffee in Carnation or Duvall on return. 

60 miles with a high moderate pace of 18 MPH max. on the flat/rolling valley roads.  Shorter route from Carnation is 43 miles.    One 2 mile climb to the Falls but generally a low elevation climbing route with a few steep short hills.  Regroups on hills.
