Native Planet Outdoor Club: 2006  Weekend Rides

As the snow clears and we move toward summer, our weekend rides will get longer. We frequently do some of Washington's most spectacular mountain rides including Paradise, Sunrise, Hurricane Ridge, Mt. Baker, Old Blewett, Chinook and beautiful Washington Pass, the highlight of our Native Planet Classic on June 11. Many of these rides are offered at various paces; although the Elite Team may fly through the route, most of the other members focus on enjoying the scenery and camaraderie.
