Edmonds to Carkeek Park

Let's meet at the Edmonds City Park.  Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate

The route is a hilly ride with many views of the Sound and Olympic Mts. starting in Edmonds. To warm up we’ll travel north and take in views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.  We then head south to Carkeek Park.  After a short break at the park we will climb out of the park and head north.  On our way back to Edmonds we'll take in some more views with a brief stop above Salt Water Park. We will regroup after major hills. This is a great conditioning ride to keep in shape during the winter and to prepare for early spring club events.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup occasionally.   If you find yourself substantially off the group pace you may need to finish on your own.  We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

There are no sit down food/coffee stops so please have snacks as needed to enjoy at our stops and regroups.

Restrooms are available at the start and Carkeek Park mile 17.4.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: 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 cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
