North Tacoma Loop (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Tacoma Central Co-op. 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.

We will ride around Tacoma's North End through Point Defiance Park to Wright Park then to Fircrest, the West Side and back to our North end start point. 

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup frequently at a moderate pace of 14-16 mph. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms and parking are available at the start. (please park on the outer perimeter of Tacoma Central Co-op lot). We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 12.5 at Wright Park. 

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!
