TREATS: Woodinville – Snohomish

Join us starting in Woodinville on a scenic but somewhat hilly social ride to Snohomish Bakery for lunch.  It will start with a fairly steep (4-to-7%) grade that is 1.4 miles long, but then will be relatively easy the remainder of the way to Snohomish. 

On the return we’ll have a mostly steady climb for approximately 4 miles. Note: At mile 21, depending on traffic volumes, we may have to ride on the shoulder of SR 9 (Woodinville – Snohomish Rd.) for approximately 0.3 miles so we can cross it more safely at the 164th St. SE stoplight (as shown on route map).

There are restrooms available at the start and at lunch (mile 14.4).

Let's meet at Woodinville Sports Fields parking lot.  Please be ready to ride at 10:00am.  We'll start with the required safety briefing and roll out when it's done.  If you miss the briefing, you will not be able to ride with the group.   Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case.

If you are driving to the start, please consider adding a little extra time for your travels as youth athletic activities have started recently and parking might have to be a little farther away than what you have experienced over the last couple of months.

We will climb and descend the major hills at our own pace and will regroup at the top as needed.

This ride will be at a Steady pace, which means that to keep up with the group you must be able to maintain a speed of 12-14 MPH for more than four hours on flat terrain with no tailwind.  A downloadable ride map and cue sheet are at the link below.  If you don’t have a GPS unit or cell phone guidance, please print a cue sheet so you can navigate the route on your own if you need to.

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 Leaders 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!
