PIE RIDE: We will ride north on the Burke-Gilman Trail, merging onto the Sammamish River Trail, to the Hillcrest Bakery, www.hillcrestbakery.com, in downtown Bothell. We will take an enjoyable sweet break at the bakery. Other amenities a bit east on Main St. are the Countryside Doughnut Shop and Alexa's Cafe. Baskin and Robbins is across the street. Coffee is available at all locations and at "Social Grounds Coffee & Tea Co." just north of the bakeries, www.socialgroundscoffee.com. We will stay for about 30 minutes and then return to Matthews Beach. Helmets and a functioning bicycle are required.
Route: Come, have fun, converse and enjoy this social bike ride along the Burke Gilman Trail. The terrain is flat.
Cue sheets: No cue sheets provided. Stay together ride.
Fenders: If the riding surfaces are wet, please come equipped with fenders long enough to keep the person riding behind you dry or be the caboose.
Ride start: We meet at the Matthews Beach parking lot. Please be ready to ride at 12:00. We will start with a required safety briefing and roll out when that's done. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

Comments
FYI - Because of repair work
FYI - Because of repair work in the BG tunnel by the Wayne Golf Course, there is a detour off the trail. The tunnel will be closed on Tuesday. The detour begins just before the tunnel (going east). We will exit to the left to a parking lot and then rejoin the Sammanish Trail by the nearby bridge.
