Route Description
RUSA Route #1446 "Postdoc Populaire"
Come ride our Turkey Pop 110km populaire on November 16 and work up an appetite for your Thanksgiving dinner. We will start from Peet’s Coffee in Redmond. After riding up to Snohomish, we will circle over to the Snoqualmie Valley and then follow the valley road down to Carnation before heading back over Duthie Hill and coming back to Redmond. There will be plenty of opportunities for coffee and baked goods along the way. We finish at Postdoc Brewing Company, where you can enjoy a cold beverage and the warm camaraderie of your fellow randonneurs.
We will have a box at the sign-in and at the finish to collect voluntary contributions to
Hopelink, a local organization that provides support and services, including 5 food banks, to people in need in the communities through which we will be riding – North and East King County. As we enjoy Thanksgiving, this is a small gesture to provide some support to those less fortunate than us. Bring some spare cash or a check.
