Lake Sammamish Loop After Dark

Please join us for a low-key evening ride! If you are looking for a mid-week "recovery ride," or just want to get in a few more miles during the week, this could be the ride for you!

Ride start: We will meet at the south end of the parking lot — the end of the lot farthest from the entrance.

Beginning riders are extremely welcome! However, you should be prepared to maintain a Steady pace: 12-14 mph on level ground, and you should be prepared to ride about 20 miles on gently hilly terrain. If you get separated from the group, you may need to find your way back alone, so you should know how to read a cue sheet, or have the route loaded on a bike computer or mobile phone.

Rest stops: We'll regroup at the top of hills, but the ride is short, so we won't have rest stops, including places to fill water bottles, so make sure you bring enough water. There is a restroom at the start, but there is no place to fill water bottles (it’s a portable restroom), so please do that before coming to the start.

Weather: Steady rain, snow or icy conditions will result in a cancellation, and the ride leader will post this information here at least two hours before the start of the ride. Note that the ride leader will not be present at the ride start in the event of a cancellation.

Wet roads: Please come with long fenders, including a buddy flap, if the roads are wet. Without them, you will be asked to ride in the back of the group.

Mechanical issues: You should also be prepared to change a flat tire, with tools, tubes and the ability to change the tire yourself. The group will generally not stop for repairs.

Lights are required for this ride! Make sure you have a headlight and taillight. Blinking or pulsating headlights are not allowed, particularly if they are very bright. Blinking taillights are OK.

Registration: Please sign the electronic waiver above. This saves time at the start of the ride. Use the "Register" button, which will only be available after you log in. I will print the eWaiver at around 4:45pm, so please sign it before then.

Note: Please show up to the ride start at least 20 minutes early, so you can sign a waiver and ensure you are ready to go when we leave the starting point promptly at 6:00pm.
