South of me I ride Cedar River trail and to Maple Valley, 35-40 miles. Sometimes the back route from Maple Valley, Ravensdale and toward Enumclaw.
I can ride to NBend and may find a motel for a couple of nights for rides from there, before Winter arrives in force.
Thanks for considering my possibilities. I accept my limitations with grace but occasionally with a bit of too much cycling route repetition. Trade-offs, we all choose them.
Couple years back I based out of Crystal Mt Resort for 4 days of rides - possibly too late to plan that this year.
Turns out I've forgotten way more rides than I remember. Here's some routes I've ridden which you should be able to connect to. Some of these are RAMROD Training Series rides and have a privacy code. Whatever. These are challenging rides. Start with the shorter ones and work your way up. I rode all of these when I was at least 70.
