Sumner - Tacoma Foss Waterway

Join us for a ride out of Sumner to Tacoma's Foss Waterway. We will leave the Sumner Fred Meyer (by the Garden Center), make our way through some industrial areas to the Foss Waterway. We will make a stop for coffee and the pass by the Tacoma Museum of Glass, stopping for anyone that would like to see the Chihuly Bridge of Glass http://museumofglass3.reachlocal.net/outdoor-art/chihuly-bridge-of-glass Things to know: Cue Sheets: Please print your own cue sheets if desired. Do not count on the Ride Leader to have extra. In the event of wet conditions: Long fenders will be appreciated by the rider behind you. If you don’t have them you may be asked to ride in the back. Cancellation condition: Steady Rain Cancellation policy: I will not be at the ride start should conditions be as noted in “Weather Cancels” or otherwise need to cancel. I will announce the cancellation in the comments section on the Cascade Free Daily Ride web site and Cascade Meetup at least two hours prior to the ride start and will monitor my phone and/or email listed in the Contact information. If you have questions about the weather, please call (or email) before you leave for the ride." Route changes: Will be posted in the comments section of the Cascade Free Daily Rides and Cascade meetup. Regroups: As needed and at the top of hills. Must be able to maintain posted pace on flats. Regrouping will occur but riders should be able to stay with the main group, falling too far off the back may require the rider to navigate solo the remainder to the route. Mechanicals: Will not stop the group. Please be sure you have the equipment (pump, tubes etc.) and knowledge to change flats, plus a cue sheet to get home, or a phone to call for assistance if needed. RSVP: Not required but is greatly appreciated. Mentoring: Available with prior notice, contact Ride Leader at least 2 days before ride. Arrive: 20 minutes before start time in order to prepare your bike and listen to the SMART talk. Riders will appreciate your promptness.
