Celebrate Veteran's Day (early) with a brisk-paced 44-mile route -- our 8th year hosting this ride. Let's muster in the Woodland Park lower parking lot (near the soccer fields) at four bells (that's 1000 for you non-Navy cyclists). We'll have our pre-ride brief then and make sure everyone is ship shape and get underway. The route will take us north through Montlake Terrace towards Everett, then return via Edmonds. Our goal will be to stay together as best we can, regrouping at the top of the bigger hills. It's November, so full fenders greatly appreciated if the roads are wet. We'll stop at Walnut Street Coffee for a cuppa Joe at mile 32. We will also limit speed to 15mph on multi-use paths so we don't create too much wake for other users. Hope you can join us. Vets: wear your service jersey!

If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, I will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and will not be at the start location.

As a vet, I'm looking forward to this! I was Air Force and should have my get jersey by then.

Greetings Cyclists! I had to change the date for this ride to Sunday, 7 November due to conflict. If you can't make the new date, please un-register. Hope to see you nonetheless. Ride on, and Go Navy!  Jeff
