Winter Is Coming.
As the leaves and temps fall, let's heed the warning from the north. Bring your gravel all terrain bikes, your tubeless tires, your Mr. Tuffy liners, electronic shifters, hydraulic brakes—and whatever else you want to try out.
We leave from Redmond and head to Snohomish and Monroe and return through Carnation and Sammamish. Finish at Postdoc and share RUSA Cups of Ale or Diet Coke with the Hound and The Mountain. And, of course, tell tales of lands near and far. As hot as Birthright at high noon and cold as Quedillac in the wee hours. Why not?
Given the possibility of bad weather and poor visibility, reflective gear such as a reflective vest and ankle bands is recommended.
