Edmonds to Norway Hill and Innes Arden (Moderate)

Join us for a ride from Edmonds City Park on a trip to Norway Hill returning through Innes Arden and Richmond Beach. The 39-mile route is at a Moderate Pace (14-16 MPH).

Leaving Edmonds City Park we’ll take in a quick view of the Sound and Olympic Mountains and ride up and out of Edmonds bowl. We then head down to Lake Washington and the Burke Gilman. At the lake we ride over to and up Norway Hill. After completing our climb up Norway Hill we'll take a direct route back to the Burke Gilman.  The return to Edmonds includes a ride up Perkins Way, then on to Innes Arden and Richmond Beach with mountain and sound views.  We end with a nice descent back to Edmonds City Park. 

There are bathrooms available at the start, at Blyth Park mile 16, and Log Boom Park mile 24. There are no coffee or meal stops so please bring snacks as needed to enjoy at regroups and rest stops.

Let's meet at Edmonds City Park at 9:30 and please be there, ready to ride, at the time noted.  We will start with the 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 after hills. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH). If maintaining the pace is difficult for a rider, the rider may have to continue the ride on their own.

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 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.

We hope you can join us!
