FRUMPS: Blyth Park, Echo Lake, Snohomish

Somewhat hilly social ride on mostly quiet backroads to Snohomish via Echo Lake. We will be riding at a Moderate pace (14-16 mph on the flats) and try to stick together with fairly frequent regroups. Meet at Blyth Park (at the south end of W. Riverside Drive in Bothell) which is easily accessible from the Burke Gilman trail. There are bathroom facilities at the start. Lunch will be at the Snohomish Bakery at Mile 24. Please bring equipment to fix a flat and know how to use it. We will try to wait for mechanicals, etc. but may not be able to wait for everything. Prior to the ride please review the route on RideWithGPS.com (see link below). Print your own cue sheet from the link if the route is unfamiliar to you. People riding slower or faster than the majority of the group will be self-guided. It is possible we will vary the route due to weather conditions or other factors.
