Peter's Raging River Solstice Ride
Summer Solstice is this Thursday. Raging River trails. Tacos. And my own special concoction I'm calling Red Sunset. Join us!
We will meet downhill from the gate to the Raging River access rd. Take exit 27 off highway 90 and go right. There is plenty of parking along the road or you can drive up the road and park in the DNR parking lot. If you park in the upper lot (Snoqualmie Point Park) past the gate, they do lock this gate at dusk.
The ride: Although listed as moderate, we encourage everyone who's interested to join us. We'll split into groups so that everyone has a good time.
There are 2 natural turn around points, one 6 1/2 miles up (awesome views) and one 8 1/2 miles up. The great thing about this ride is that you can decide when you want to turn around and ride the flowy trail back down. It seems to be a little mellower climb than Masterlink, but it is longer and gains more elevation and I won't sugar coat it, it's still a grunt. I usually go as far as I can in 1.5hrs then turn around and bomb back down. Some folks like to take a round about down Physical Therapy.
Afterwards we will have tacos, Chainline beer, and Peter's Red Sunset ! I'll have a vegetarian option and non-beer drinks too.
