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.
You are a brave man riding Issaquah-Hobart Road. I avoid it like the plague. Same goes for May Valley Rd.
