Please note: During COVID-19 Phases 1.5 and 2, all Free Group Rides are limited to six total participants: the Ride Leader and five others. Registration for the ride (using the red “Register Now” button above) is REQUIRED to participate. If you decide not to ride, please unregister for this ride so that an additional spot will be made available to another.

Face coverings (for mouth and nose) are required when the group makes extended stops. Face coverings are recommended for the duration of the ride. Please bring personal hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and tissues for use at rest stops.

FUN RIDE FROM SOUTH EVERETT THROUGH EDMONDS, RETURNING VIA MEADOWDALE/ MUKILTEO AND BOEING.

Rest Stops: Mile 24 happens to have a Starbucks. Group consensus may enable a 20 min coffee break!

NOTE - We will be following COVID-19 social distancing practices, and all riders must stay at least 10-12' apart when riding and at least 6' apart when stopped. All riders need to stay behind me throughout the ride (except when climbing) and will ask you to wear your mask during the entire ride. We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to stay together and regroup as necessary at the top and bottom of all hills. Since I am a slower climber, anyone who is faster should go ahead at the beginning of the hill and wait at the top.

Start Time: Let's meet at Paine Field Community Park 20 minutes before the published start time (i.e 9:40 am) for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 10:00 am. We will go over hand signals and what we say during the ride to keep ourselves safe. Bathroom is available at the start.

Fenders and tubes: Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders. Even if it is not raining, when the roads are wet, rooster tails from bare tires are a safety issue for other riders. Fenders with long mudflaps show that you care about others. Riders without friendly mudflaps may be asked to ride at the back of the group.

WEATHER:

Also, if it is raining hard on the morning of the ride, or if there are other unforeseen hazardous riding conditions, I will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below and email everyone who has registered at least two hours prior to the start and I will not be at the start location.

I hope you can join me!

Sounds like a fun ride! I

Sounds like a fun ride! I want to join you all so bad but I just tested positive for Covid-19. Been quarantining for a week now and have started to show signs of recovery. I'll be tested again next week and hope to come out clear. If there'll still be spaces left till then I'll surely register! In the meantime, I am keeping myself busy with some woodworking on my new lathe. God bless you all!
