Route Description: This course is a chance for those familiar with the Snoqualmie Valley to get reacquainted with popular cycling routes and a good introduction for the uninitiated. From the brewery, we tackle a few gratuitous hills on the way to the West Snoqualmie Valley Road. Great riding in the valley to the first control at Sandy's Espresso in Carnation. From Sandy's, we head north to Monroe with a detour up through Cherry Valley. After the turnaround at Monroe, we head across the valley to tackle High Bridge Road. Turning on Fales Road, we head south with a few more hills to loosen up the legs. We tour through beautiful downtown Woodinville, turning onto the Sammamish River Trail for the last stretch back to the brewery.
End of the ride: Can you say "beer"? After 2300 feet of climbing, of course you can.
