MUMPS: Snohomish Bakery (Brisk)

This week MUMPS rides to the famous Snohomish bakery. Outbound we will ride Seattle Hill road and various side roads, ending up with some great spinning on Lowell Larimer Road and Lowell Snohomish River Road. We will return via Broadway through Maltby and Woodinville.

Start Time & Location: Log Boom Park is closed for renovation, so let's meet down the path which heads south from the SE corner of the Log Boom parking lot @ 175th. Go to the end of the path and look on the dock if you don't see us on the path itself. There are sanicans available (at the NE corner of the parking lot), but no running water, so plan accordingly.

Please be there, ready to ride, at the date and time noted above. We will start with the required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

Parking: Please do not park in the Log Boom parking lot; use the on-street parking on NE 175thSt., just east of the park.

Pace: The MUMPS series offers multiple paces.  Riders are welcome change pace groups during the ride. We will limit speed to 15mph while on multi-use paths. 

Navigation: The planned route/cue sheet is at the link below. The goal is to stay together via regrouping as necessary, but we won’t be able to wait long for anyone substantially off the pace.  Please bring navigation aids in case you need to finish on your own, as the ride becomes self-led for those ahead of or behind the group. 

Restrooms:  There are planned restroom stops at mile 15.6 and 35.7 in addition to the restroom at the food stop @ mile 27.9.

Food:  The food stop is brief (about 20-25 min.). Please bring snacks and water for nutrition and hydration along the way.

Cancellation: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

IMPORTANT: Each ride leader will make their own weather cancellation decisions independently, so one pace group may cancel while another rides, and one group may take a shortcut, while another may not. An "on the roll"  switch to an alternative rain route is possible. This could change your options for moving between pace groups.

Repairs: Be prepared with the equipment and know-how to take care of your own flats and mechanicals, and a plan for getting back to the start if your bike won't take you there (ORCA card or someone to call). If you have a problem the group may stop briefly to make sure you will be OK on your own, but we will not wait for repairs to be completed. 

Hope you can join us!
