Woodinville Social Ride for Coffee (Note: 10:00 am Start)

Join us for a ride starting from Wilmot Gateway Park in Woodinville on an approximate 39 mile route at a Steady pace (12-14 mph on the flats). This route has challenging hill climbs combined with some fairly flat terrain using bike trails, bike lanes and largely quiet neighborhood streets.

This week we will ride to the Edmonds waterfront and area views. We will have a short restroom stop at Lynndale Park at mile 14. We will have a 25-minute combined coffee and rest stop on the Edmonds waterfront at mile 18.3, and a short restroom stop at mile 27.5.  Please bring suitable funds if you plan to purchase food or drink at our coffee/rest stop. A downloadable ride map and cue sheet for GPS navigation devices is at the link below.  A short stop to see some goats is also planned at mile 20.  If you want to feed them, please bring carrots. They are watching their diets.

Let's meet at the Wilmot Gateway Park by the tables under the pergolas in the park at 10:00 a.m. We will start with a required safety briefing and roll out when that's done. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

We will climb and descend the major hills at our own pace and will have a very brief pause for regrouping at the tops as needed.  Please note that this week's route has significant hills and riders should have the ability to maintain continued climbs and be able to stay with the group.  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.

Restrooms and water are available at the start and at the rest stops. Please bring any snacks you may want to have during the ride. 

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.

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.

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!
