Women & Non-Binary Only Ride to Redmond (Steady)

Please note, this is a Women and Non-binary ride only. W&NB rides are only for individuals that identify as a woman or non-binary, including trans-gender women and cis-gender women. Male identifying riders can support this group best by finding other appropriate rides on the Free Group Rides calendar and leaving this space for W&NB riders.   

We will start at Log Boom Park in Kenmore and do a 31 mile route at a Steady pace of 12-14 mph. We will climb a few hills and cruise through some quiet neighborhoods before getting on the Redmond Connector Trail to Redmond.  We will ride some rural roads and stop for coffee/pastries at Starbucks on Avondale and 116th. Another climb will warm up our legs before we head back to Kenmore.  This route includes flat paved trail riding and a few good climbs.  It is a mix of paved trails and roads.  We will regroup at the top of hills and at turns.

Please meet outside the restrooms at Log Boom Park at 9 am and be ready to ride. 

Please do not park in the Log Boom parking lot; use the on-street parking on NE 175th St. just east of the park.

We will start with a required safety briefing and then begin riding when that's done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

If you are unsure of your pace or are a new rider, please contact me to determine if the pace would be appropriate. 

Restrooms and water are available at the start.  There will be a coffee stop at MP19 at Starbucks.  Please bring money if you wish to purchase coffee/snacks.

If a rider has a mechanical issue, we will stop to assist the rider.  If there is a major mechanical issue preventing a roadside fix, we will ensure the rider has a safe means to return to the start or home. Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case.

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 canceled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.  Please check before leaving for the ride.

Helmets are required.

If you don’t have full fenders and the roads are wet, you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

We hope you will join us!
