TREATS – Woodinville / Lowell / Snohomish (Early start time--9:30 AM)

Join us for a social ride from Woodinville Sports Fields Parking lot on a 41-mile route at a Steady pace (12-14 MPH) on hilly terrain.  We'll ride north through the UW Bothell Campus and past rural forests and picturesque farmlands to Lowell, then follow the Snohomish River Road to Snohomish Bakery for a somewhat leisurely lunch. The return will take us up Broadway Ave. through Maltby, then back to Woodinville via the less-traveled roads in the northern part of the Hollywood Hill neighborhood.

Our goal will be to stay together. We’ll climb and descend hills at our own pace and regroup if we get separated.   We'll limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).  Electric-assist bikes are welcome.

Let's meet at the Woodinville Sports Fields parking lot (across the street from Wilmot Gateway Park and the Sammamish River bike trail). Please be ready to ride at 9:30 AM when we will do the safety briefing and get on the road. IMPORTANT TO NOTE:  If you are not present and ready at 9:30 when we start the safety briefing, you will not be allowed to participate. 

Restrooms are available at the start but not water, so please fill your bottles before the ride.  We’ll have optional restroom stops at mile points 13 and 33 with ice cream available at mile point 33.

Bring ID, a spare tube, tools and knowledge to fix a flat, a cell phone in case you cannot finish, two water bottles, pocket snacks, and money for lunch just in case. Please have fenders if the roads are wet or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.
