Sunnyside Gravel Ride
Yakima Tour Steady Ride
We'll take 29 mile loop leaving from Sunnyside WA, head up (2-3%) for a while then cruise along the edge of a canal lateral for a while before heading back to Sunnyside. Total elevation gain is around 700'.
The route looks like this: Sunnyside Gravel Loop
Meet at 9:45 at Central Park in Sunnyside for a 10:00 roll out. Last time I was there (a while ago), there were bathrooms at the pool. Who knows if that's changed, so it might be a good idea to look for a stop along the way.
If you are already registered for the Yakima Region tour and want to do this ride, please register for this also!
As many of us found out last year, May weather can be unpredictable. It may be sunny. It may be rainy. It may be both. Please be sure to check the weather forecast and plan accordingly.
There is no planned lunch stop, but it's Sunnyside, so there will be tacos. Tacos El Pelon 2 and El Valle Family Mexican Restaurant get good reviews.

Disclaimer #1: E-bike welcome, please read and comply with the club e-bike policy. Bring snacks, enough to drink and the usual fix-it stuff, especially flat repair type fix-it stuff. I recommend the equivalent of two water bottles.
Disclaimer #2: I'll pre-ride this and make sure they haven't fenced off the route. If they have, I reserve the right to make a last minute route substitution. If so, it will be in the same general area.
