Scenic Log Boom Sultan Loop via Hollywood Hill and Old Owen Road

Join us for a ride from Log Boom Park on a 67 mile route at Brisk Pace 16-18 MPH.  This enjoyable scenic country ride with views of the beautiful West Snoqualmie River Valley, Skykomish River, Mount Index and on a clear day an impressive view of Mount Rainier. This route is a favorite of participants, with its mix of flats and hills. It is strenuous, providing riders with excellent conditioning.  We ride on the Burke-Gilman trail and good roads, through Woodinville, Monroe and Sultan and return on an alternate route.  See the attached photos on the link below.

Parking: Park on the shoulder of 175th (plenty of space available) not in the parking lot because a two hour parking limit is in force.

Assemble in Log Boom Park, within the space between the bathrooms and the parking lot.

I wear a silver helmet and a Ride Leader jersey, with a black bike.  Please be ready to ride after the safety briefing @ 9:30.  We will start with the 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.

Supplies: You will need to bring two full sized water bottles, which we can refill with Ice water at the Sultan Bakery. Bring a snack to eat while riding.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace and regroup at the top of hills, and stay together on level ground. We ride at a Brisk pace of 16-18 MPH. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH). Down load the attached link of the route onto your bike computer, or smart phone, or print out a cue sheet to provide for your navigation, just in case.

We will stop along the way for restrooms/water and eat an energy bar after 24 Miles at Lewis Street Park.  At 33 miles we will dine in the outdoor seating area at the Sultan Bakery. There is a bathroom at the bakery.  

Bring a spare tube and tools and be prepared to fix your own flat tire. If you have a major mechanical problem we will check on you, but you are responsible for your return home. 

Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions, 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!
