North Tacoma to Spanaway Lake loop (Moderate)

Join us for a ride from Tacoma Central Co-op to Spanaway Lake at moderate pace. This is a mostly flat ride with one hill from the Tacoma Dome up to the new Pipeline Trail which we will follow out to Spanaway. We will return on "C"  Street and Park Ave and stop for coffee/snacks at Metropolitan Market on Proctor Street. 

Please be at the start, ready to ride at 9am. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to  regroup frequently. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 24 and 37. We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at the Metropolitan Market on Proctor St. at mile 37.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. 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!
