Cemeteries and ice cream (Leisurely)

Let's meet at the Machias trailhead of the Centennial Trail. 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.

Cemeteries and Ice cream ride. Take a trip back in time and learn about the interesting history of Snohomish through its cemeteries. We will visit 4 of the 5 Snohomish cemeteries and I will tell you the interesting information (not verified facts) I discovered regarding the life and death of some of the occupants. We will stop at each cemetery for a short visit. There will be restrooms at about 11.7 miles on first Street where we will stop for ice cream, coffee or a sweet bakery treat. Then we will return to Machias for one last cemetery before we end our trip. 

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will stay together. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 11.7  We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Snoqualmie Ice cream at mile 11.8. 

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!
