Tuesday North End After Dark Ride--Moderate

We meet at the Lynnwood Transit Center, in the SE corner by the Interurban Trail. If it's your first time at Lynnwood TC, there is a second area SE of the bus area. Please check the map above for exact location. The series offers midweek training rides, 20-25 miles long, to keep up strength for the longer weekend rides and to help maintain cycling fitness during the winter months.  We will be riding a Moderate pace of about  14-16 mph on flat level ground. 

We will regroup at the top of long climbs for a 1-2 minutes, but if a rider is significantly off the group pace, come prepared to finish the ride on your own. Riders should also know how to read a cue sheet, change a flat (and have the requisite equipment--tire irons, new tube and/or patch kit), and have a positive attitude!

Please print a cue sheet or load the route into a GPS device.  We will not be stopping to wait for mechanical failures so having a cue sheet is strongly recommended.

Notes:

• Riders should be ready to ride 15 minutes before start time, and we roll promptly at 6:30pm.
• FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS ARE MANDATORY!!!   Riders who do not have lights will be turned away for safety.
• LONG-TAIL FENDERS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (the second link shows what these are -- it's offered as a sample, not a product endorsement)!  Riders without this equipment will be asked to ride at the rear of the group.
• Bring or wear rain gear/clothing that cars can easily see too as we will be riding when it is wet (but at the lower end of the posted paces).
