WRUMPS: Kenmore to Edmonds

Let's do lunch! We'll ride out of Bothell Ski & Bike traveling from Kenmore through Lynnwood to Edmonds where we'll have lunch at the Red Twig Cafe (about the 16 mile mark). Our stop will be about 20 - 30 minutes depending on the size of our group and food ordered.

If you like climbing or want to improve your climbing this ride is for you. The ride to Edmonds has a good share of hills sprinkled along the route, but they are pretty moderate with breaks here and there and then a fun downhill into Edmonds. Our return from Edmonds includes a substantial amount of climbing to make sure we work off that lunch. Woodway is about one mile and fairly moderate, then there are a few shorter climbs on our way to "the climb". Innis Arden, which has some significant grades at times is also about a mile in length. It's a fairly unrelenting climb, so please factor in all of the climbing as well as the pace when determining if the ride is for you. We'll have a reprieve on the Interurban Trail, a moderate climb through Mountlake Terrace, and a fun downhill back into Kenmore.

We'll maintain a moderate pace (14-16 mph) on the flats w/o the benefit or hinderance of wind, slower on the uphills, faster on the downhills. This is a stay together ride, so riders may climb at their own pace and we'll regroup as necessary at the top and bottom of hills. For the well-being of the group, regroups will be no longer than five minutes.

Riders should bring a spare tube, patch kit, pump, tools, and knowledge to repair flats and minor mechanical issues. Please have a backup plan in case of a major mechanical (someone to call for rescue or an ORCA card). It happens!

Fenders are appreciated unless it is bone dry on the roads. This is for the safety and comfort of your fellow riders as well as yourself. No fenders means you are happy to ride in the back.

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early in order to prepare yourself and your bike prior to the safety briefing. Ride starts promptly at 10:00. 

Restrooms available at the start.
