Three Lakes and a Sack Lunch

Please note: During COVID-19 restrictions, all Free Group Rides are limited in the number of allowed participants. Registration for the ride (using the red “Register Now” button above) is REQUIRED to participate. If you decide not to ride, please click the red "Cancel My Registration" button above so that an additional spot will be made available to another.

Face coverings (for mouth and nose) are required when the group makes extended stops. Face coverings are recommended for the duration of the ride. Please bring personal hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and tissues for use at rest stops.

We will observe current social distancing guidelines when off the bike, and strive to maintain at least 10-12ft separation between riders when on the bike.

Join us for a ride from Martha Lake Airport Park  on an 18 mile route at a LEISURELY PACE (10-12 mph).

We'll roll down Maple Road, then begin a gradual climb up to Lake Stickney.  Then we'll make our way to Silver Lake, where we'll stop at Thornton Sullivan Park to eat our lunch.  For those of you keeping track, the third lake is Martha Lake, which we'll get glimpses of at the start and end of the route. 

Bring water, a sack lunch/snack for our picnic at Silver Lake, and a spare tube and tools for flat fixing. 

Let's meet at the parking lot of Martha Lake Airport Park  at 9:45 for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 10AM

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to stay together.  We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

There is a porta-potty  available at the start. We will stop along the way for porta-potties  at miles 7 and 11.  These stops have no running water.  We’ll also stop for our picnic at mile 11, Silver Lake. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
