September 29, 2020 @ 10:45 am - 1:45 pm

Ready to roll at 10:45 am.
The Cultus Lake/Crane Praire Loop is a beautiful ride around the Cascade Lakes area.
This ride is for advanced beginner or better. A lot of rolling terrain with low traffic volume. The elevation gain is 844 ft and the distance is 26 miles.
This is a fun road bike loop from the Cultus Lake Resort to the Crane Prairie Reservoir and around back to Cultus Lake. We can stop for a break and a snack at the Crane Prairie resort. We will ride at a pace of about 12 mph. The road has little traffic and we should see some lovely fall colors.
