Please note: 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 can WEEP until we can MEET again!!  Join us for a Wednesday Evening Eastside Ride.  We will meet at the East Lake Sammamish Trailhead Parking Lot (near Whole Foods) at 5:45pm for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 6:00pm.  We will be riding a carefully selected "classic" eastside route.  This will be an approximate 27 mile route at Brisk Pace (16-18mph).

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to try to stay together and we will regroup at the tops of climbs if we get separated. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

A Restroom (Sani-Can) is available at the start.  There is no water at the start.  There are no "planned" restroom/water stops along the route.

Riders should bring tools & knowledge to repair flats or minor mechanicals and be prepared to complete the ride on your own should your bike require repair. Please have a backup plan (someone to call or an ORCA card) if your bike will not get you to the finish.

Front and rear lights are REQUIRED. The route is designed to be completed close to or shortly after sunset but riders should be prepared in case of unforeseeable delay.

Fenders are requested if it is wet or expected to be wet.  Plan to ride at the back if you do not have fenders.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions, 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!
