Event has already happened.
This ride starts and ends in downtown Woodinville, near the entrance to Wilmot Gateway Park. We'll ride sections of the Sammamish River Trail, the Bear Creek Trail, the Redmond Central Connector, and the Puget Power Trail, before switching to streets for the last leg of the ride. And this is about the flattest ride you can find in King County!
This is a social ride with experienced ride leaders to grow your confidence with group riding. It is free and open to everyone.
If you aren't sure about your pace, please join us anyway, but study the route and bring a printed the cue sheet with you. We can help you read the cue sheet if you need to return to the start early. Carrying an ORCA card is another good option.
You should dress appropriately for the weather, but you do not need spandex or other specialized bike gear. All you need is a working bike and a helmet. If you haven't ridden your bike for quite some time, please do a ABC Check (link on the Cascade calendar entry) or take it to your local bike shop a few days prior to the ride date.
During the safety and ride briefing, we will go over hand signals and what we say during the ride to keep ourselves safe.
Ride start: We will meet at Wilmot Gateway Park. There is ample parking across the street by the Woodinville Sports Fields.
Rest stops: 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 please use the restroom and fill your water bottles prior to the ride start.
Weather: Steady rain will likely result in a cancellation, and the ride leader will post this information here at least two hours before the start of the ride.
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.
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 10:00am.
