We will ride north on the Burke-Gilman Trail (BGT) to Log Boom Park near Bothell. Then take a break at the Park for about 15 minutes, use the restrooms if needed and return to Matthews Beach. Bring a snack if needed. The terrain is flat. Helmets and a functioning bicycle are required.
Route: Come, have fun, converse and enjoy this social bike ride along the Burke Gilman Trail. The terrain is flat.
Cue sheets: No cue sheets provided. Stay together ride.
Fenders: If the riding surfaces are wet, please come equipped with fenders long enough to keep the person riding behind you dry or be the caboose.
Ride start: We meet at the Matthews Beach parking lot. Please be ready to ride at 7:00 P.M. We will start with a 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. Note: Water and restrooms are available at the start.
Be prepared-if you have a mechanical problem e.g. flat tire please have equipment with skills to fix flats; bring ID, phone and have a plan for rescue if you or your bike fails.
Register: Please sign an e-waiver by clicking on the “Register Now” button at the top of this page (right below the ride title) and enter your information.
Parking: Free parking at Matthews Beach parking lot. Arrive early to beat the seagulls for a good spot.
Weather cancelation: - If weather conditions meet the weather-cancels criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, I will post a ride-canceled message for registered riders at least two hours prior to ride time and will not be at the start location.
Lights: This is an after dark ride; you must come equipped with a headlight (bright enough to light up the road in front of you) and a tail light. Remember to charge your lights before the ride!
If you have questions, please contact the Ride Leader, I prefer the phone number listed (landline).
