Carnation to Snoqualime Pass

                Sunday June 9th

    Fred Hockert Park - 4602 Stossel Ave - Carnation, WA.        Parking is adjacent to covered shelter.  

               MEET 8:45 AM for a 9:00 AM rollout 

 Ride to Snoqualime Pass and through Tunnel to Hyak.  Steady uphill pace (long, gradual, and scenic) for first 45 miles and faster on the return downhill.   Ride is mostly on Snoqualime Valley and Palouse to Cascades crushed gravel surface trails suitable for bikes with minimum 32C tires.  Numerous stops for short rest breaks.   Typically, there is water at Hyak - but request you bring minimum of 2 full bottles/food.  BRING LIGHTS - Tunnel is 2 miles long.   This is a long day of 6 to 7 hours in the saddle (where not talking speed but butt time here) - be prepared and ready for good times.    Note: We will join Dan Scott's ride to the pass in North Bend at Mile 15 and ride as a group to Hyak. 

 90 miles - Steady to Moderate.  4000 feet elevation gain
