Spokane Bicycle Club

Start Time: Meet at 8:45 AM for 9:00 rollout
Meeting Location/Address: Safeway Parking Lot 10100 N Newport Hwy, Spokane, WA 99218
Distance: 38 miles
Pace: 13 – 15 mph
Terrain: Paved roads; moderate climbing to both prairies and Green Bluff; total elevation gain of 2200 ft.
Route Description: We’ll head east from the start to intercept the Children of the Sun Trail southbound. We’ll venture off the trail and climb for a bit in hopes of seeing some wild animals. We will skirt the Peone Prairie on the appropriately named Peone Road, which will take us, via Bruce and Morgan up to Pleasant Prairie. The payoff for the climbing will be the Moffat Road descent (if you’re ever wondering why you’re still riding a bike at your age, descending Moffat will answer the question). Then it’s Peone and a brief stint on the Mt. Spokane Highway to Bruce, which always looks flatter than it feels in your legs. At this point we climb to the Harvest House, we will take a break at the Harvest House, but it will not be open, so bring your own snacks and water. We’ll have an invigorating descent from Green Bluff, ride through some nice neighborhoods and make our way back to the Children of the Sun Trail and onto Hawthorne, past the bird seed factory and the shuttered Kaiser plant back to the start.
