Carnation Century

This route is part urban, part rural. We start off we a leg through North Seattle, before we head through Bothell and Woodinville to Duvall and Carnation. There, we get to ride Cherry Valley Road and West Snoqualmie River Road. Our return trip takes us over the Samammish Plateau and Bellevue.

We will plan three food/water stops on this ride: Safeway in Bothell, Safeway in Duvall, and QFC in Samammish.

The starting location is at South Kirkland Park & Ride.  There is free parking but no water or restrooms at the start so please plan accordingly.  

If you click the "Register Now" button on this page it saves you from having to sign in at the start of the ride.  Also, it gives me an idea of how many people to expect. Please register at least two hours before the start of the ride.

Please plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the start of the ride so you can get signed in, hear the pre-ride briefing, and be ready for an on-time start.  All riders must be present for the briefing in order to participate.

Ice, snow and steady rain cancels this ride.  If the ride is canceled due to weather, a notice will be posted in the comments 2 hours prior and the ride leader will not be at the start.  Be sure to check back on this web site for weather updates if the weather is in doubt. Please bring long fenders if the roads are wet or rain is in the forecast.
