Ride Up North, Far Up North #3

This ride is designated #3 in the RUN FUN (Ride Up North, Far Up North) series. RUN FUN rides #1-#3 are flat leisurely rides with minimal hills. As the series number increases, so does the length and degree of exertion. 

Who could/should do these rides

• Beginning riders who are new to Cascade Bicycle Club Free Group Rides
• Those just seeking a really relaxing, scenic, stay-together ride out in the country.
• Those who have been training hard on other rides and are looking for some good "recovery" miles.
• Those (like your ride leader) who are building base miles, strengthening joints, connective tissues, muscles and the cardio-vascular system in preparation for harder rides to come.    

 Stops     We can stop in Mount Vernon if anyone needs a restroom break.  The next stop will be at around 15 miles at the historic Rexville Country Store for a no-host snack.

If you are not certain that you're ready for almost 28 miles, there are a number of bailout options that you can use to shorten the distance.  

Let's meet at the gravel parking lot of the Red Barn store at 9:45 am for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure 10 am.  Please park in the gravel lot, not on the paved lot in front of the businesses.  Restrooms are available in the Red Barn Store but it is posted only for customers  Please maintain our future welcome by purchasing something if you use their restrooms. There are also restrooms across the highway in the other gas station store. 

This is a stay-together ride. However, riders may sometimes either fall behind or shoot ahead on hills. Nevertheless, these riders will be expected to re-group after their "break away" or "fall behind".

You must pre-register by clicking the red "Register Now" button above.  Please un-register if you decide not to attend in order to free a space for another rider.

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.

Cancellation: 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.

Feel free to call me with any questions.

We hope you can join us!
