Blyth Park to Red Cup Cafe in Mukilteo

Join us for a 45-mile ride from Blyth Park in Bothell to Mukilteo at moderate pace (14-16 mph).

Let's meet at Blyth Park near the restrooms and please be ready to ride at the start time listed above. Parking is also available at the former Wayne Golf Course on 96th Ave NE/Waynita Way, from where you can cycle through the tunnel and stay straight to cross the bridge and find Blyth Park on your right in just a few hundred yards.

We will begin 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 hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup frequently.  We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

Restrooms and water are available at the start. The main food/restroom stop is at Red Cup Cafe in Mukilteo, with a lovely view of the water from on high, at mile 24. There's a bathroom and water break at mile 12, and an optional restroom/water stop at mile 29.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case, and have a plan for getting home or back to the start in case you or your bike are unable to finish the route.

Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group. Mud flaps/buddy flaps, especially if they reach to 2 to 4 inches above the pavement, are a great benefit to the rider behind you when roads are wet.

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!
