Ride Up North: N. 2/3 of Camano Island

Please be at the Terry's Corner transit P&R (adjacent to Camano Island Coffee Roasters)  and ready to ride by 10:00 am when we'll have our pre-ride briefing.  If you miss this briefing, you will not be able to ride with the group.  

Please do not park in the lot adjacent to the coffee roaster and bakery; use the one next to it where bus P&R's park.

This ride explores the northern 2/3 of Camano Island.  Be prepared for 31 miles and 2100 feet of climbing.  You can expect a good workout for your hill-climbing skills and condition, as you can see from the RWGPS profile.   You need to be in shape for this ride or have an e-bike.  It is roughly comparable to the CHILLY HILLY.

Why you could/should do these rides:

• You are new to Cascade Bicycle Club Free Group Rides but you have been doing some training and can handle 31 miles and 2100 feet of climbing.
• You are seeking a scenic, stay-together, low-traffic ride out in the country.
• You think that you are either 1) in pretty good hill shape and would like to test that, or 2) have an e-bike.
• Maybe you are planning on doing STP, RSVP, RAW or other multi-day rides.  This is great prep for those.,

Riders may sometimes either fall behind or shoot ahead on hills. Nevertheless, riders will be expected to re-group after their "break away" or "fall behind."

You must pre-register no later than 8am on the morning of the ride,  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: ONLY SNOW OR ICE CANCELS.   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!
