Iron Horse Trail Gravel Grinder
Ride Leader: Gordon King
Start Time/Location: Meet at Revolution Cycles at 6:00 AM and carpool to the Safeway Parking lot in Cle Elum. We will plan to gather at the parking area directly south of Safeway and plan to be on our bikes by 7:15 AM
Ride Distance: ~104 miles
Ride Description: Join us for something a bit different this fall. We will be riding Iron Horse Trail from Cle Elum up to Hyak, through the tunnel (LIGHTS REQUIRED THROUGH THE TUNNEL) and down to Rattlesnake Lake and back. While there are no major climbs there is approximately 4000 feet of total climbing. The mapped route on map my ride says there is over 8,000 feet of climbing, that is not correct because they are looking at ground elevetation along the trellis bridge rather than the bridge elevation. We recommend a gravel bike/cross bike for this ride. Check out the route at Iron Horse Gravel Grinder
This is a self supported ride, with water available along the trail, and we will be carrying a water purifier. Please pack all the food you will need, and gear for any possible weather. Following the ride we will be heading to the Brick in Roslyn for some food and beverage of choice. This is going to be a beautiful ride during a beautiful time of year.
A signed membership/waiver is required for all Yakima Basin Velo Rides.
