Northside Evening Riding before Dark - NERD (Moderate)

Northside Evening Ride before Dark (NERD) rides will be held on Thursdays (when possible), at 6pm, from Lynnwood Transit Center. The goal is to offer midweek hill training to keep up strength for the longer weekend rides. Multiple paces are offered: Brisk (16-18mph), Moderate (14-16mph), and Steady (12-14mph).

We will be rolling promptly at 6:00pm, so please arrive with enough time to get ready to ride, sign the waiver and listen attentively to the safety speech before then. We'll be meeting at the SE corner of the Lynnwood Transit Center, next to the Interurban Trail. Please check the map above for exact location.

There is a water fountain at ride start, and a single restroom open during the week. Please arrive accordingly if you need to use the facility.

Note: during the month of June, the daylight is getting long, but please bring front and rear lights! The routes are designed to be completed around sunset but riders should be prepared in case of unforeseeable delay. Riders who do not have lights may be turned away for safety. Steady pace route might be shortened to be completed within reasonable amount of daylight.

The paces are on flat without headwind, faster downhill and/or tailwind, slower uphill and/or headwind. Riders should be able to sustain a pace for the duration of ride. We will be riding on a mix of quiet neighborhood roads, and busy multiple lane roads, so if you have limited experience riding with traffic, be sure to let the ride leader know. Please always bring proper equipment to fix your own flats and other minor mechanicals.

Check back for Route posting 2-3 days prior to date.
