**CANCELLED** Woodinville to Newcastle and Kirkland for Coffee (Moderate)

Let's meet at Wilmot Gateway Park (by the Pergolas) in Woodinville. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Our route this week heads south and climbs up the hill by Cougar Mountain followed by a traverse across Coal Creek and Newcastle. We'll return through Bellevue and into the Kirkland Rose Hill neighborhood for our 25 minute coffee/snack stop at Starbucks (mile 36.2). We will have rest stops in Marymoor Park (mile 9.1) and after the Cougar Mountain hill climb at Lewis Creek (mile 21.2).

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup occsionally. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms and water are available at the start. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. 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 or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
