Lake Forest Park/ Edmonds/ Shoreline Loop

Join us for a ride from Hamlin Park on a 23 mile route at the upper end of a steady pace 12-14 mph.

This is my go-to fitness ride!  There are lots of views and lots of hills so you'll be tired afterwards. 

Let's meet at the Hamiln Park near the bathrooms and pavilion next to the parking area in the center of the park. You can enter the park from either 16006 15th Ave (via car or bike) or 25th Ave NE (via bike only- see map). Please be ready to ride at 9:30 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 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 are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 10 where water is available at a sink (tall water bottles will not fit). At the start there is a fountain where you can fill up a tall bottle. We will not stop anywhere for coffee or snacks, so bring food with you if necessary. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. I am not handy with fixing flats or mechanicals, so please have a cell phone, money, and a map to help you get home in case of an issue.  Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group. 

We will ride briefly on the interurban trail, so if you have an e-bike be sure it complies with trail laws or be prepared to take a parallel road.

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!
