Wednesdays in March: North Lake Washington Loop from Magnuson

WEDNESDAYS-IN-MARCH is a mini-series to welcome the spring riding season.  There are 4 rides in this series, one for each Wednesday in March.

ROUTE: This second ride starts at Cascade HQ at Magnuson Park.  Arrive by 9:30 if you’d like a tour of the facility.  Water, coffee and restrooms are available at the start.  We will ride a counter-clockwise loop around the north half of Lake Washington, with a refuelling stop at Tully’s in Clyde Hill.

PACE: Riders should be able to maintain a moderate pace, 14-16 mph on flats with no wind.  Climb at your own pace, and we’ll regroup at the top.

PREPARE: Please bring equipment to fix a flat, and know how to use it.  We will try to wait for mechanicals but may not be able to wait for everything.  Make sure you know the way back, either by loading up your favorite GPS device and/or by printing out a cue sheet.

ARRIVE: Be ready to ride no later than 9:50am so you can sign in and hear the safety briefing before we roll at 10:00am.

WEATHER: Showers, steady rain, or any unsafe weather cancels.  Weather cancellation will be announced on the ride listing on cascade.org and meetup.com by 8:00am.  In case of cancellation the ride leader will not be at the ride start.  I will monitor my email and phone from 8:00am onwards.  Call before you leave home if you have questions.
