Route Description: The reverse course of the last few years: 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 head up the Sammamish River Trail to beautiful downtown Woodinville and up north into Snohomish County. Turning west, it's up and over High Bridge Road and into the Snoqualmie Valley. Across the valley to Duvall, we head up through Cherry Valley before the control at Sandy's in Carnation. After passing the research farm, we head up over Union Hill to loosen up the legs before touring through Marymoor Park and onto the Trail for the last stretch back to the brewery.

End of the ride: Can you say "beer"? After nearly 3900 feet of climbing, of course you can.
