During COVID-19 restrictions, all Free Group Rides are limited in the number of allowed participants. 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.
We will observe current social distancing guidelines when off the bike, and strive to maintain at least 10-12ft separation between riders when on the bike.
We resume our shadowing of the ever-popular Getting Ready to Ride (GR2R) series with the sixth ride of the series. Starting from the Bathhouse Theater parking lot at Green Lake we head up the Interurban Trail to Shoreline, enjoy a glorious descent to Lake Forest Park, and return along Lake Washington and through Ravenna Park. Since it will be Pi day, we'll likely stop for pie too!
Let's meet at the Bathhouse Theater parking lot (the end closest to the theater & lake) at 9:45 a.m. for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 10:00 a.m. Check out the map for the meeting point. And don't forget that daylight savings time starts early that morning!
Restrooms are available at the start, and at the mid-point at Lake Forest Park.
Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. 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 hazardous riding conditions (eg: ice or snow), 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!

Ride Cancelled
Very sorry that the weather forecast for the middle of the day is mighty wet and windy: "Periods of rain. High 47F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch." This would soak up the "Fun" part of our Pi(e) ride. Please look for today's ride to be rescheduled for next Sunday; heck, we can still stop for pie!
All dressed up & no place to go! :(
See you next time!
Bah humbug
See ya next week. Anybody want a pair of lightly used Ribmo 700CX28 tires? Free!!
Tough weather call
Thanks for your patience, Carmen, Pete and all. When the detailed forecast for the area we're riding is so different from the last several days and great sunrise early this morning, it's a tough call. Will see what gives in a few hours, and maybe thank ourselves for not fighting rain and headwinds on the way home. Next weekend it is, with fingers crossed:-) Stay tuned...
