FOUR GREAT RIDES FOR ALL ABILITIES!

Choose from the very easy 4-mile Family Route that winds around Snoqualmie's back streets, to quiet country roads in the Intermediate Route; to more challenging vertical in the Half Century Route, or venture all the way up to Carnation in the Century Route. All take you through the spectacular scenery of the Snoqualmie Valley with fantastic mountain and valley views. All rides begin and end at Meadowbrook Farm in North Bend, Washington, where there will be lots of fantastic food on hand, quick bike checks available from Singletrack Cycles, and friendly volunteers to answer your questions. Maps are provided at check-in and at all the stations. All the routes are clearly marked with different colored "Dan Henry" markings for the different routes, and are fully supported with plenty of water and rest stops.
	Follow Dan Henry markings on road in route colors
Begin riding the route you choose any time between 7 am and 10 am, set your own pace and enjoy the day & great views in the Snoqualmie Valley. Early registrants receive a discounted price and may order an event shirt for only $5-Adult / $4-Child. Event shirts will be available on the day of the event for $10 with limited stock. Plan to spend the day and enjoy the music, food, booths and family fun at the NEW AFTER-EVENT PARTY at Meadowbrook Farm after you’ve burned off all those calories riding.
