Boze Varkens Bakery Ride
April 6, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
A spring Redmond Cycling Club ride in the style of the Tour of Flanders.
The Tour of Flanders (Dutch: Ronde van Vlaanderen) is a grueling race teeming with short, sharp and often cobbled legendary climbs (20+ %) like the Oude Kwaremont, Muur, and Paterberg. To celebrate the event, we thought it would be fun to have our own shortened version of this iconic monument of cycling. Hence the creation of the Boze Varkens ride.
While we don’t have cobbles to deal with we can match the 20+% climbs on the four peaks (Squak, Cougar, Somerset and Issaquah Highlands) in and around Issaquah. There will be 4 route options to choose from with each course option having a Dutch name that represents that routes own unique characteristics.
All riders are welcome, but note, this is a self-paced, self-guided ride. The ride does not regroup nor does it have a sweep. The routes are designed for the experienced rider who is comfortable following cue sheets and riding independently. We stress safe and cooperative riding.
