*** STEADY PACE *** This is in addition to the regular out and back Pie Ride

PIE RIDE: We will ride north on the Burke-Gilman Trail to the North Shore Senior Center (NSSC) in Bothell, just beyond Blyth Park. We then take a pie, brownie or cookie break at NSSC. A variety of homemade pies with whipped or ice cream, sodas and coffee are usually available for riders to purchase at a reasonable price. Please note: purchases may be with cash, charge or debit cards (plastic purchases are a minimum of $1.00). We will be there for about 30 to 60 minutes, use the restrooms if needed.

The ride will continue on the Sammamish River Trail and connect to Eastrail and the Cross Kirkland Corridor. It is a chance to use the new Totem Lake bridge that finally is opening on the CKC.
