Eastside Ride - Education, Novelty, and Hollywood Hills

Summer has to arrive sometime doesn't it?   Let's try to ride on Friday and "will" the sun to come out...whether or not it actually happens.   We'll head out from Wilmot Gateway Park (by the Pergolas next to the Sammamish River Trail) in Woodinville and then ascend Education and Novelty Hills returning back over Hollywood Hill.  We'll have a short break (10 minutes or so) at the Starbucks in Redmond Ridge.  The ridewithgps route is linked below - please print your own cue sheet if you need one.

Even though it is almost Summer, as a courtesy to others in the group, you will need long fenders unless it is bone dry out, and zero percent chance of rain forecast. Showers will cancel. 

Regroups will be occasional, though not at every turn, so please bring a cue sheet or load the route on your GPS. We will always wait at the top of the few hills, so you can climb those at your own pace.

Mechanicals will not stop the group. Please be sure you have the equipment and knowledge to change flats, plus a cue sheet to get home, or a phone to call for assistance if needed.

Please make sure you are at the start and ready to ride 15 minutes before rollout. You must attend the safety briefing and sign the waiver, or register on this page and check in at the start, in order to ride with the group. There are restrooms at the start. 

I will not be at the start if weather conditions meet the criteria for cancellation (showers cancel).  If the weather is such that we wouldn't start, I will post a cancellation notice in the Comments block, below, at least 2 hours prior.    Please register for the ride by clicking on the red Register Now button at the top of this page.  In the screen that follows, click the waiver release box, complete the Emergency Contact Number, and click on Save.  By doing this you will save time at the ride start.  

Mentoring is available.  Please contact me if you're interested, and do know the route.
