Woodinville to Issaquah (group 2)

Notes:  This is a second group, to increase capacity for the ride.  There are two identical moderate-paced rides departing from Woodinville to Issaquah on the ride date, one at 11am and this ride at 11:11am.  This group will slow down or stop briefly if necessary, to maintain separation from the first group.  Registration is open for this group until 11:11am, but after that time, you must stay with the group that you registered for.  

Join us for a ride starting from Wilmot Gateway Park in Woodinville on an approximate 43 mile route at a Moderate pace (14-16 mph on the flats). This is a route which merges modest hill climbing with some fairly flat terrain using bike trails, bike lanes and largely quiet neighborhood streets.

This week we will ride to Issaquah and back, circumnavigating Lake Sammamish. We will have a short rest stop near mile 9 in Marymoor Park. We will have a 25 minute combined coffee and rest stop at approximately mile 22 in Issaquah. 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. 

Let's meet at the Wilmot Gateway Park by the tables under the pergolas in the park at 11:11 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 regroup at the top as needed.

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.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancelation 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!
