Event has already happened.

This is a fun ramble through the Tulip fields with stops for photo ops. This is the LAST WEEKEND of tulips as they will be topping them on Monday. Since there are already two rides from Mount Vernon at slower paces we will ride a brisk pace on the flats.  We also might visit March point and come back through LaConner. Bring snacks/lunch and water as we will not have a sit down lunch.  If there are cyclists who want a longer ride they can join me for the ride from Arlington to Conway (35 mi round trip) beginning at 7. Should be great weather! 

Take Conway/Fir Island from I-5, cross freeway and go through roundabout.  We may need to park at the boat launch on Dike Rd just a couple blocks west, due to the extra tulip traffic.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Mostly Flat

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
