Frigid early Saturday so roll from Mike’s Hole @ 10:30 Saturday (hopefully close to 40 by then).   Head north for a climb up Mtn Rd.   Descend Montlake and head back for 45 miles, 3000 feet, and back to Mike’s by around 1:00.    Descend Hotwater, head a bit farther north on Back Valley before making the turn, and it should get you a metric.   Here’s the map with the Montlake descent (don’t be confused since the map is titled “Sunday Makeup” – it’s the Sat ride this time).  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40134954

Sunday On Signal riders will add some adventure this week by working in a gravel segment.  Roll Sunday from Walden Town Hall @ 1:00 (earlier than the usual 2:00 start).    We’ll do a road loop and then hit some sweet single track that ties into the main dirt road going to Edwards Point.   At the Point decisions must be made – if the leaves aren’t bad one option will be turn right to tie into the jeep roads that wind around and come out near the soccer fields.   Other, shorter, option is to ride back up and out the main dirt road.   Count on 1.5 – 3.0 hours depending on whether we do the jeep road option at the Point and how many times I get us lost.

So I expect most of you are riding with your imaginary friends on zwift, but if you want to get outside a couple of us are rolling at 1:00 Saturday from Whole Foods for some base miles at the bend.   (We aren’t your friends either but at least the air will be fresh.)

Sunday roll @1:00 from the old Pizza Hut across from Merv’s at the foot of Signal.   Typical Sunday makeup ride.  Here’s the map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37902038

Well, I had been hoping the forecast would change but it doesn’t look like it will so no post for Saturday.  If the rain moves out early enough I may post laps at the bend for mid-day.   (Okay, okay, so that will just be an excuse to meet at Mike’s for lunch.)   Plan on a makeup ride Sunday @ 1:00 from the old Pizza Hut at the foot of Signal.   I’ll post it Saturday after we see what happens for a bend ride tomorrow.

Now where did I put my shoe covers…………………….

So after suffering through Fredonia Bubba is rewarded with BeelzeBub’s Bubba Bluegrass Bash!   Roll @ 9:00 from the Cove or start at John Carroll’s place a little later to avoid the Daughtery climb.   See BeelzeBub for a wristband to get into the Bluegrass Festival post-ride – significant others always enjoy the post-ride festivities so get a band for them too!  See the ridewgps post for more info:   https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38979012

Weather looks awesome and the leaves should be spectacular again at lower elevations.   A Big Bubba thanks to BeelzeBub and Sweetie for doing this again!

Fredonia!

Roll at 8:00 from boat ramp across from River Drifters on Suck Creek Rd.  80 miles, 8000 feet.  Bailout turns left on East Valley and climbs the back of Suck.
